Name: Atriplex obovata / Tidestromia carnosa Dwarf-shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs on flats in a 'badlands' landscape over gypseous saline Cretaceous clays in Brewster County, Texas; it may also occur in northern Mexico. A very sparse shrub layer consists of widely scattered individuals of <i>Prosopis glandulosa var. torreyana</i> and <i>Opuntia leptocaulis</i>. <i>Atriplex obovata</i> forms a sparse to locally moderately dense dwarf-shrub layer. Following rains, the annual <i>Tidestromia carnosa</i> can be locally abundant. Other species include <i>Suaeda mexicana</i> and <i>Coryphantha ramillosa</i>.
