Name: Acacia rigidula - Leucophyllum frutescens - Acacia berlandieri Tamaulipan Calcareous Thornscrub Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: The shrub layer may be heavily dominated by <i>Acacia rigidula, Leucophyllum frutescens</i>, and/or <i>Acacia berlandieri</i>, but a diverse array of shrubs is commonly present. A number of species of small cacti and other succulents may also be present in some occurrences. Composition varies with soils, slope, and past land use. Soils are shallow and include a variety of textures, pH, and salinity. This alliance comprises low-statured shrublands, sometimes with an emergent canopy of taller shrubs and small trees. Shrubland associations in this alliance often occur intermixed with each other and with grasslands. This shrubland alliance typically occupies xeric, rocky uplands on shallow soils over a variety of substrates, ranging from the outer Gulf Coastal Plain in south Texas to the Trans Pecos and Stockton Plateau regions and to Mexico.
