Name: Pleuraphis mutica - Scleropogon brevifolius Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: From Muldavin et al. (2000b): On White Sands, this minor type is known from the southern Jornada del Muerto basin at 1450 m (4760 feet) elevation and is characterized by patches of abundant <i>Pleuraphis mutica (= Hilaria mutica)</i> and well-represented <i>Scleropogon brevifolius</i>. Bare soil patches are often conspicuous. <i>Pleuraphis mutica</i> is abundant and dominant relative to <i>Scleropogon brevifolius</i>. Shrubs are insignificant, and forb diversity is low (six species). The abundance of <i>Scleropogon brevifolius</i> may attest to past disturbance impacts. This type occurs commonly throughout the Southwest and northern Mexico on open rangelands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32843.CEGL001640 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
