Name: Juglans microcarpa / Sorghastrum nutans Flooded Scrub Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community occurs in Texas in intermittently to temporarily flooded streambeds and stream margins with headwaters in montane areas. Even when the streambed is dry, it is usually subirrigated; following rains, the streambed can be shallowly inundated for several weeks at a time. Woody vegetation is extremely variable in height and density, varying from shrubby growth to well-developed trees, and from an open canopy to widely scattered individuals. <i>Juglans microcarpa</i> is the most abundant and most characteristic woody species; others include <i>Fraxinus velutina, Baccharis salicifolia, Fallugia paradoxa</i>, and <i>Ostrya knowltonii</i>. The streambed and margins are dominated by <i>Sorghastrum nutans</i>, with other herbs including <i>Schizachyrium scoparium var. scoparium, Andropogon gerardii, Echinochloa muricata var. microstachya, Bothriochloa barbinodis, Leptochloa dubia</i>, and other scattered herbs, many typical of adjoining upland areas.
