Name: Quercus havardii - (Penstemon ambiguus, Croton dioicus) / Sporobolus giganteus Scrub
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occupies stabilized dunes of quartz sand in the eastern Trans-Pecos of Texas. <i>Quercus havardii</i> dominates the shrub layer, especially on dune summits and upper slopes. Other shrubs include <i>Penstemon ambiguus, Croton dioicus, Stillingia sylvatica, Calylophus berlandieri ssp. berlandieri</i>, and <i>Yucca campestris</i>. The herb stratum is dominated by <i>Sporobolus giganteus</i>, with <i>Calamovilfa gigantea, Andropogon hallii, Panicum havardii</i>, and <i>Paspalum setaceum (= var. stramineum)</i> also present and locally common. This community is influenced by the processes of dune formation, migration, and stabilization; it is favored by disturbance, while more stabilized areas are dominated by <i>Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa</i> and <i>Artemisia filifolia</i>.
