Name: Morella cerifera / Paspalum monostachyum - Andropogon glomeratus - Schizachyrium littorale Shrub Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community represents vegetation dominated or codominated by <i>Morella cerifera</i> occurring on the barrier flat of barrier islands along the central and south Texas coast. It may occur in small patches or as a shrub savanna, and sometimes occupies lower areas within a matrix of the barrier flat and secondary dune grassland communities. Codominants may include <i>Schizachyrium littorale, Paspalum monostachyum</i>, and <i>Andropogon glomeratus</i>. Fire, washovers, shifting sands, and other disturbances shape the extent and expression of this community. This provisional community is described from very limited plot data and other observations from Padre Island National Seashore. Related vegetation has been described from other barrier islands along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.
