Name: Prosopis glandulosa - Ulmus crassifolia / Nassella leucotricha Riparian Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occurs on frequently and infrequently flooded terraces along creeks and streams in the Lampasas Cutplain region and likely other areas of the Edwards Plateau of central Texas. At Fort Hood, <i>Prosopis glandulosa</i> occurs as a dominant in some riparian and alluvial situations on older terraces that do not flood frequently, but are within the floodplain. This vegetation is often low-statured and could be considered a shrubland. Other small trees may include <i>Ulmus crassifolia, Sideroxylon lanuginosum, Sapindus saponaria, Maclura pomifera, Celtis laevigata</i>, and <i>Carya illinoinensis</i>. The canopy is open and herbaceous cover is often high, with <i>Nassella leucotricha, Bromus japonicus</i>, and/or <i>Elymus virginicus</i> dominating. Forbs typical of disturbed grasslands in central Texas are also often present, including <i>Croton monanthogynus, Ratibida columnifera, Ambrosia psilostachya, Phyla nodiflora (= Lippia nodiflora)</i>, and <i>Ruellia nudiflora</i>.
