Name: Baccharis halimifolia Saturated Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance, ranging from Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, includes natural and successional saturated wetlands dominated by Baccharis halimifolia. It includes associations in both coastal and interior settings on saline/calcareous soils with a saturated hydrology. Interior settings include saline/calcareous natural areas, as well as weedy saline old fields. Coastal settings include shrublands dominated by Baccharis halimifolia that invade old fields and saline and non-saline prairies in the absence of fire. In these settings, Spartina spartinae, Andropogon virginicus, Andropogon glomeratus, Setaria parviflora (= Setaria geniculata), and Solidago sempervirens are often present in the herb stratum. A natural saline prairie association, found on outcrops of saline material from inland salt domes, has a shrub stratum dominated by Baccharis halimifolia with Crataegus berberifolia and Sideroxylon lanuginosum. The herb stratum includes Eleocharis sp., Tridens strictus, Euthamia leptocephala, Ptilimnium sp., Tradescantia occidentalis, Nothoscordum bivalve, Eupatorium serotinum, Polygonum aviculare, Atriplex cristata (= Atriplex pentandra), and Heliotropium curassavicum.
