Name: Pleuraphis mutica - Scleropogon brevifolius Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: On White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, this minor type is known from the southern Jornada del Muerto basin at 1450 m (4760 feet) elevation and is characterized by patches of abundant <i>Pleuraphis mutica</i> and well-represented <i>Scleropogon brevifolius</i>. Bare soil patches are often conspicuous. <i>Pleuraphis mutica</i> is abundant and dominant relative to <i>Scleropogon brevifolius</i>. Shrubs are insignificant, and forb diversity is low (six species). The abundance of <i>Scleropogon brevifolius</i> may attest to past disturbance impacts. This type occurs commonly throughout the Southwest and northern Mexico on open rangelands.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30549-{22A94341-090F-4C1D-83DF-33A5EF043B07} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
