Name: Vachellia farnesiana - (Prosopis glandulosa) Riparian Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This woodland occurs over moderately to poorly drained soils along riparian corridors and upland depressions. It is currently described from the South Texas Plains and the Coastal Prairie but may range into other ecoregions. It is thought to be a natural disturbance type of these wetlands and may succeed to <i>Celtis laevigata</i>-dominated forest, especially on floodplains of major streams. Data are insufficient to separate it from an even more widespread anthropogenic disturbance community, with introduced species such as <i>Triadica sebifera</i> and <i>Rosa bracteata</i> associated on upper coast and <i>Parkinsonia aculeata</i> on the South Texas Plains. In wet areas, <i>Vachellia farnesiana</i> often forms nearly pure stands or occurs as scattered individuals within a matrix of weedy grasses during the course of secondary succession. This woodland may grade into <i>Acacia rigidula</i> or <i>Acacia berlandieri</i> shrublands in southern Texas and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> grasslands in the Coastal Prairie. One occurrence in southern Texas has <i>Vachellia farnesiana, Prosopis glandulosa</i>, and <i>Celtis ehrenbergiana</i> in the canopy, with a dense ground layer of <i>Spartina spartinae</i> along with <i>Wissadula periplocifolia, Sidastrum paniculatum</i>, and <i>Eleocharis montevidensis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31040-{1FBF1598-323A-4691-AA59-5B7C93D95A3A} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
