Name: Sophora secundiflora - Diospyros texana - (Mahonia trifoliolata) Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association is a disturbance type, resulting from heavy grazing and browsing of Edwards Plateau woodlands, often accompanied as well by other manipulations, such as bulldozing or cedar removal. Scattered remnant trees may be present, especially <i>Quercus fusiformis</i> and <i>Juniperus ashei</i>. Shrub cover varies from very open to dense, and is characterized by variable mixtures of <i>Sophora secundiflora, Diospyros texana, Mahonia trifoliolata (= Berberis trifoliolata), Opuntia engelmannii var. lindheimeri, Juniperus ashei</i>, and <i>Quercus fusiformis</i>. Characteristic graminoids are disturbance-increasers, such as <i>Aristida purpurea</i>.
