Name: Bothriochloa barbinodis Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes grasslands dominated by Chloris pluriflora and Bothriochloa barbinodis. Other herbaceous species include Bouteloua spp., Setaria spp., Pappophorum bicolor, Buchloe dactyloides, Hilaria belangeri, Chloris crinita, and Heteropogon contortus. Most examples of this alliance have become shrub-dominated due to lack of prescribed burning. It naturally occurred as an open matrix of midgrass species within native mesquite - acacia shrublands dominated by Prosopis glandulosa, Acacia farnesiana, and Acacia rigidula. These grasslands once occupied uplands in the South Texas Plains and ranged into Mexico, but have been virtually eliminated due to conversion to tame pasture, cropland, or, due to lack of burning, thorn shrubland. The few remaining examples are in private ownership and are highly disturbed because of overgrazing and brush clearing.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27775.BOTHRIOCHLOABAR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
