Name: Prosopis glandulosa - Atriplex spp. Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Shrublands on moderately saline, sandy soils in the Trans-Pecos and South Texas Plains. Composition varies with geographic location with <i>Lycium berlandieri, Ziziphus obtusifolia, Opuntia</i> spp., and <i>Yucca elata</i> are common shrub associates. In more saline areas, shrubs are more sparse and grasses and forbs are more common, including <i>Sporobolus airoides, Distichlis spicata</i>, and <i>Sesuvium verrucosum</i>. These shrublands may grade into grasslands dominated by <i>Sporobolus airoides</i> or <i>Pleuraphis mutica (= Hilaria mutica)</i> or be surrounded by a matrix of desert shrubland.
