Name: Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa - Acacia greggii - Celtis pallida / Paspalum setaceum - Urochloa ciliatissima Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This woodland occurs on deep, sandy to loamy Alfisols on undulating uplands in the drier (more western) portions of the South Texas Sand Plain. Woody vegetation generally occurs in mottes covering a small percentage of any site. The ground layer is variable, depending on grazing pressure and season, with <i>Urochloa ciliatissima (= Brachiaria ciliatissima), Cenchrus spinifex (= Cenchrus incertus), Eragrostis secundiflora, Eragrostis sessilispica, Chloris cucullata, Paspalum setaceum, Aristida purpurea</i> (<i>sensu lato</i>), and <i>Setaria</i> spp. usually present; more palatable species such as <i>Sporobolus cryptandrus</i> and <i>Vaseyochloa multinervosa</i> may be locally common in areas of lighter grazing. A large number of annual forbs are present during wet periods (late winter-spring).
