Name: Rhus trilobata / Bouteloua curtipendula - Schizachyrium scoparium Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association has been identified in the northern panhandle of Texas but is likely more widespread in the southwestern Great Plains. It occurs on steep talus slopes with large and small boulders scattered across the hillside. Stands are on north-facing slopes and typically have loamy soils. There is a moderate short-shrub canopy dominated by <i>Rhus trilobata</i> with lesser amounts of <i>Dalea formosa, Mimosa borealis</i>, and <i>Yucca glauca</i>. Scrubby trees of <i>Ptelea trifoliata</i> and <i>Celtis laevigata</i> are scattered in this community. <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i> and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> dominate the moderate to dense herbaceous stratum. Many other herbaceous species, including <i>Andropogon gerardii, Tetraneuris scaposa, Elymus canadensis</i>, and <i>Eriogonum longifolium</i>, can occur in this association, but none are abundant.
