Name: Dalea formosa - Mimosa borealis Dwarf-shrubland
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This association has been identified in the northern panhandle of Texas but is likely found in other areas in similar habitats. The association occurs as narrow bands along the tops of escarpments and narrow ridges where bedrock is at or very near the surface. Bedrock outcrops and rocks are abundant. Soil is shallow. It is dominated by dwarf-shrubs with variable cover of herbaceous plants. The dwarf-shrubs typically have moderate cover. Herbaceous cover can be sparse to moderate. The dominant shrubs are <i>Dalea formosa</i> and <i>Mimosa borealis</i>, with <i>Gutierrezia sarothrae</i> often present and sometimes abundant in wet years. A variety of herbaceous species may be present, but <i>Aristida purpurea</i> and <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i> are among the most common.
