Name: Prosopis glandulosa / Pleuraphis mutica Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: From Muldavin et al. (2000b): This is a provisional type in the Southwest (known from Fort Bliss and Gray Ranch) and a minor type on White Sands Missile Range. It is characterized by a very open, non-coppice-forming canopy of <i>Prosopis glandulosa</i> (18% cover) with an understory dominated by dense patches of <i>Pleuraphis mutica (= Hilaria mutica)</i>. Other species are scarce, but <i>Sporobolus airoides</i> is sometimes present. The White Sands Missile Range site occupies a swale on a low-elevation alluvial flat located centrally within the Tularosa basin at an elevation of 1230 m (4040 feet). It occurs in a matrix with other basin grasslands and large barren alluvial flats. Soils are clayey and derived from fine-textured alluvial deposits from the surrounding mountains.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32846.CEGL001641 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
