Name: Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa / Celtis pallida - Opuntia spp. Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This <i>Prosopis glandulosa</i> woodland occurs on heavily utilized pastures on deep soils of broad valleys of the Rio Grande deltaic plain in southern Texas. This community is typically dominated by species that increase under heavy grazing or proliferate after root plowing such as <i>Opuntia</i> spp. Introduced grasses, such as <i>Cynodon dactylon, Pennisetum ciliare var. ciliare (= Cenchrus ciliaris)</i>, and/or <i>Dichanthium annulatum</i>, generally dominate the herbaceous stratum. This community now occupies areas historically covered by a mosaic of native shrublands and grasslands.
