Name: Ebenopsis ebano - Phaulothamnus spinescens Thornscrub Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance occurs on in the coastal plain in southern Texas and possibly adjacent Mexico. It is characterized by a mixture of xeromorphic shrubs which may include <i>Ebenopsis ebano, Phaulothamnus spinescens, Citharexylum berlandieri, Leucophyllum frutescens, Prosopis glandulosa</i>, and a variety of other shrubs. This vegetation typically includes tall (3-4 m) and short shrubs sometimes with an emergent canopy of short-statured trees. These shrublands can occur on the well-drained portions of clay dunes within coastal tidal flats, where they are influenced by salt spray, high winds, and extreme xeric conditions. They also occur over fine- and coarse-textured soils on river levees, resaca banks, and elsewhere in the coastal plain.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38480-{9A646D6A-2ECA-48B7-AE4B-95638842A625} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
