Name: Vachellia farnesiana - Celtis laevigata - Celtis ehrenbergiana Ruderal Scrub
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This woodland (to closed-canopy forest) occurs on disturbed silty soils on the South Texas Plains. The canopy coverage is variable; in addition to <i>Vachellia farnesiana, Celtis ehrenbergiana</i>, and <i>Celtis laevigata</i>, other common canopy species include <i>Parkinsonia aculeata</i> and <i>Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa</i> may also be common. Depending on management, the shrub layer may be open or dense, with <i>Baccharis neglecta</i> in heavily disturbed sites and <i>Zanthoxylum fagara, Ziziphus obtusifolia</i>, and other spiny or unpalatable shrubs in less disturbed areas. Due to heavy use by cattle, the ground layer vegetation is generally weedy, typically dominated by species such as <i>Bromus arvensis, Nassella leucotricha</i>, and <i>Galium aparine</i> in spring, and <i>Dichanthium</i> spp., <i>Ambrosia trifida, Clematis drummondii, Funastrum cynanchoides, Ratibida columnifera</i>, and <i>Helianthus annuus</i> later in the season.
