Name: Prosopis glandulosa / Bouteloua curtipendula - Nassella leucotricha Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs in the Rolling Plains over deeper soils and is likely to occur also in the northern Edwards Plateau and Lampasas Cutplain of Texas. This association is dominated by <i>Prosopis glandulosa</i>. <i>Rhus lanceolata</i> may codominate, especially after fire. Other woody species, such as <i>Sideroxylon lanuginosum</i>, may be present in low abundance. <i>Nassella leucotricha</i> grows primarily under the shade of the <i>Prosopis glandulosa</i>, along with <i>Bouteloua</i> and other grasses (composition dependent on grazing pressure). Other woody species, such as <i>Sideroxylon lanuginosum</i>, may be present in low abundance. The understory is usually dominated by <i>Nassella leucotricha</i>; <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i> is often uncommon or absent. Other common understory species include <i>Ruellia nudiflora, Croton monanthogynus, Rhynchosia senna, Schizachyrium scoparium, Symphyotrichum ericoides, Desmanthus leptolobus, Stenaria nigricans, Indigofera miniata</i>, and <i>Liatris punctata var. mucronata</i>. This is apparently a natural type, but it may closely resemble semi-natural vegetation in composition and structure.
