Name: Schinus terebinthifolius Seasonally Flooded Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance consists of exotic-dominated shrublands of southern Florida and other tropical and subtropical areas. The South American-native plant Schinus terebinthifolius is dominant or codominant. Some manifestations of this community reach heights over 5 m and could be considered as 'forest,' but are placed here; they maintain a multi-trunked, tangled aspect, and a separate forest alliance would be of little utility. On southern Florida's abandoned farmland, Schinus terebinthifolius often codominates with various woody species, including the exotics Psidium guajava and Cestrum diurnum, and natives including Ilex cassine, Persea palustris, Ficus aurea, Salix caroliniana, and Baccharis halimifolia.
