Name: Allenrolfea occidentalis Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This alliance includes vegetation dominated by Allenrolfea occidentalis, occurring in alkaline flats, along the margins of salt lakes, in depressions among gypsum ridges, and near saline streams. The nominal species can cover large acreages, with little else except barren soil. Associated species in western Texas occurrences include Suaeda suffrutescens var. detonsa, Sporobolus airoides, Sporobolus wrightii, Tamarix ramosissima, Atriplex canescens, and Distichlis spicata. In Utah, Allenrolfea occidentalis occurs with Atriplex gardneri. This alliance is known from saline habitats throughout the arid western United States, as far north as Oregon, and south into Mexico.
