Name: Acacia neovernicosa / Flourensia cernua Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: From Muldavin et al. (2000b): This is a provisional Chihuahuan shrubland type in the Southwest and minor type on White Sands Missile Range. Stands occur on red sandstone slopes that are moderately steep to steep and have warm exposures. The dominant vegetation is characterized by moderately open to moderately closed shrub canopies (25-70% cover) of <i>Acacia neovernicosa</i> and <i>Flourensia cernua</i>. A sparse understory is typical, but stands may include some (less than 1% cover) <i>Muhlenbergia porteri, Achnatherum eminens (= Stipa eminens), Eriogonum abertianum, Bahia absinthifolia</i>, or <i>Acourtia nana</i>.
