Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association is broadly defined to include shrublands occurring over a range of shallow soils (gravels, sands, heavy clay), in the uplands of the South Texas Plains and the coastal bend area of the Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes of Texas. Associated shrubs depend on soils, slope, and cultural influences but can include <i>Acacia berlandieri, Prosopis glandulosa, Prosopis reptans, Celtis pallida, Ziziphus obtusifolia var. obtusifolia, Diospyros texana, Mahonia trifoliolata (= Berberis trifoliolata), Condalia hookeri, Zanthoxylum fagara</i>, and <i>Acacia</i> spp. Herbaceous vegetation within mottes is usually sparse but may include <i>Leersia monandra</i> and <i>Setaria leucopila</i>. These shrublands often occur as mottes that are intermixed with other shrublands or woodlands dominated by <i>Acacia berlandieri, Celtis pallida</i>, and <i>Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa</i> and with coastal grasslands characterized by <i>Buchloe dactyloides, Bouteloua rigidiseta, Aristida purpurea, Bothriochloa barbinodis, Sporobolus compositus var. compositus, Bothriochloa longipaniculata, Bothriochloa laguroides, Chloris pluriflora, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and <i>Nassella leucotricha</i>.
