Name: Acacia farnesiana - (Prosopis glandulosa) Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This woodland occurs over moderately to poorly drained soils, primarily in the South Texas Plains and the Coastal Prairie. It is a natural disturbance type of river floodplains and depressions that may succeed to Celtis laevigata-dominated forest, especially on floodplains of major streams. It is an even more widespread anthropogenic disturbance community, with introduced species such as Triadica sebifera (= Sapium sebiferum) and Rosa bracteata associated on upper coast and Parkinsonia aculeata on the South Texas Plains. In wet areas, Acacia farnesiana (= Acacia minuta) often forms nearly pure stands or occurs as scattered individuals within a matrix of weedy grasses during the course of secondary succession. This woodland may grade into Acacia rigidula or Acacia berlandieri shrublands in southern Texas and Schizachyrium scoparium grasslands in the Coastal Prairie. One occurrence in south Texas had Acacia farnesiana, Prosopis glandulosa, and Celtis pallida in the canopy, with a dense ground layer of Spartina spartinae along with Wissadula periplocifolia, Sidastrum paniculatum, and Eleocharis montevidensis.
