Name: A.730
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance consists of exotic-dominated shrublands of southern Florida and other tropical and subtropical areas. The South American-native plant ~Schinus terebinthifolius$ is dominant or codominant. Some manifestations of this community reach heights over 5 m and could be considered as 'forest,' but are placed here; they maintain a multi-trunked, tangled aspect, and a separate forest alliance would be of little utility. On southern Florida's abandoned farmland, ~Schinus terebinthifolius$ often codominates with various woody species, including the exotics ~Psidium guajava$ and ~Cestrum diurnum$, and natives including ~Ilex cassine, Persea palustris, Ficus aurea, Salix caroliniana$, and ~Baccharis halimifolia$.
