Name: Prosopis pallida Coastal Dry Ruderal Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is a typically open woodland 2 to &gt;10 m in height that is found in dry coastal to lowland settings, usually on leeward slopes of all main islands in the Hawaiian chain. This community is dry (typically less than 127 cm [50 inches] of precipitation per year), often tolerating sea spray and brackish water tables. The canopy is open, 2 to &gt;10 m in height, and typically entirely dominated by <i>Prosopis pallida</i>. Subcanopy vegetation may be entirely lacking (bare lava substrates) or sparse to dense mixtures of alien and native grasses and shrubs such as <i>Leucaena leucocephala, Passiflora foetida, Waltheria indica, Pennisetum ciliare (= Cenchrus ciliaris), Pennisetum setaceum, Urochloa maxima (= Panicum maximum)</i> (in more mesic settings), <i>Sida fallax</i>, and <i>Acacia farnesiana</i>.
