Name: Panicum virgatum - Pascopyrum smithii Southern Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This association has been identified in the northern panhandle of Texas but likely occurs elsewhere in the southwestern Great Plains. It is found on level to nearly level sites along floodplains of rivers and major streams, often interspersed with floodplain woodlands. Soils are sandy alluvium, and the water table is usually shallow. The association has a moderate to dense herbaceous stratum. Shrubs and trees are often present but only as scattered individuals. <i>Panicum virgatum</i> is the dominant grass with lesser amounts of <i>Pascopyrum smithii</i>. <i>Distichlis spicata, Sporobolus airoides</i>, and <i>Sporobolus compositus</i> can be abundant in some stands but are not always present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36633.CEGL005019 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
