Name: Sporobolus airoides - Distichlis spicata Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This grassland community is found in the Tularosa Basin of south-central New Mexico. Initial data suggest that this type occurs at the bottom of closed basins at elevations of around 1285 m (4220 feet). Distichlis spicata and Sporobolus airoides codominate these grasslands of lowland alluvial flats that are seasonally flooded. Scattered Allenrolfea occidentalis and Limonium limbatum may be present, but shrubs are generally conspicuous.
