Name: Baccharis emoryi / Distichlis spicata Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This riparian shrubland association is found along the Pecos in southeastern New Mexico. It occurs along low-gradient rivers with sandy-bottomed channels of wide lowland valleys at elevations around 1120 m (3675 feet). Sites are typically riverbars and terraces where flooding varies from common to rare, but the groundwater is usually within 1 m. Soils are reported as weakly developed Aquic Torrifluvents with sandy textures. Baccharis emoryi forms an open-canopied shrub layer with a distinctively grassy herbaceous layer. Distichlis spicata is abundant and dominates the understory with a scattering of other grasses and forbs, including Muhlenbergia asperifolia, Sporobolus airoides, and, occasionally, Schoenoplectus pungens and other hydric indicators. Tamarix ramosissima can be a significant invader and shrub codominant.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28224.BACCHARISEMORYI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
