click to update datacart
Name: Cylindropuntia imbricata Ruderal Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This anthropogenic (semi-natural) shrubland of Texas and northern Mexico results from overgrazing of native grasslands. It occurs particularly in slightly moister settings along broad swales. Infestation of <i>Cylindropuntia imbricata</i> is variable, and cover of <i>Cylindropuntia</i> in this type ranges from 25% to nearly 100%. Grass cover and composition is highly variable, depending on site and grazing regime and history. This broadly defined community grades to grassland (often with some <i>Opuntia</i> cover) or to other grazing-induced shrubland communities, such as those dominated by <i>Prosopis, Acacia</i>, and/or <i>Mimosa</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33373-{CFECDA9D-767C-4B16-9299-A2D462AFAB9C} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
