Name: Vachellia farnesiana - Opuntia dillenii - Lycium carolinianum var. quadrifidum / Spartina patens Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association occurs on coastal dunes and shell ridges along the upper Texas and western Louisiana coasts. It is a sparse to dense thicket of primarily thorny shrubs, dominated by <i>Vachellia farnesiana, Opuntia dillenii, Lycium carolinianum var. quadrifidum, Zanthoxylum clava-herculis</i>, and <i>Yucca aloifolia</i>. <i>Celtis laevigata</i> is often present as a small tree. The herb layer contains various dune herbs, but is usually dominated by <i>Spartina patens</i>, with <i>Astragalus leptocarpus</i> being common. This community is commonly grazed, and the abundance of thorny and spiny species may be partly the result of grazing pressure.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32781-{0B143692-78EE-4BBE-9699-49ECA7BAEFAD} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
