Name: Spartina spartinae - Schizachyrium scoparium Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community occurs on uplands near tidal marshes. It receives only extreme storm (hurricane) tides. <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> or <i>Schizachyrium littorale</i> and <i>Spartina spartinae</i> usually codominate, though either may be locally more abundant. Other species include <i>Eupatorium serotinum, Paspalum vaginatum, Palafoxia texana var. ambigua</i>, and a diverse assemblage of others. Scattered shrubs, such as <i>Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa</i> and <i>Baccharis halimifolia</i>, can occur, especially as invaders as the result of grazing and/or fire suppression.
