Name: Quercus havardii - (Penstemon ambiguus, Croton dioicus) / Sporobolus giganteus Shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community occupies stabilized dunes of quartz sand in the eastern Trans-Pecos of Texas. Quercus havardii dominates the shrub layer, especially on dune summits and upper slopes. Other shrubs include Penstemon ambiguus, Croton dioicus, Stillingia sylvatica, Calylophus berlandieri ssp. berlandieri, and Yucca campestris. The herb stratum is dominated by Sporobolus giganteus, with Calamovilfa gigantea, Andropogon hallii, Panicum havardii, and Paspalum setaceum (= var. stramineum) also present and locally common. This community is influenced by the processes of dune formation, migration, and stabilization; it is favored by disturbance, while more stabilized areas are dominated by Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa and Artemisia filifolia.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22688.QUERCUSHAVARDII Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
