Name: Crataegus crus-galli - Crataegus marshallii - Crataegus spathulata Coastal Plain Prairie Shrubland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance encompasses zones within or on the margins of coastal plain prairies dominated by <i>Crataegus crus-galli, Crataegus marshallii</i>, and/or <i>Crataegus spathulata</i>. Stands may also contain <i>Cornus drummondii</i>. One common liana is <i>Berchemia scandens</i>. Examples are found primarily or exclusively on uplands in relatively calcareous soils. In the West Gulf Coastal Plain, these shrublands develop on soils derived from marly clays and chalk of marine origin. These soils are typically silty clay loams, clays, and silt loams that are well-drained, slowly permeable, and alkaline (pH 7.5-8.0). Subsurface clay layers have calcareous concretions, weathered limestone aggregations, and shrink-swell properties. This community typically occupies 1-8 hectares within calcareous forests dominated by <i>Pinus taeda</i> or <i>Quercus</i> spp. This community occurs in a nearly level to gently rolling landscape, on ridgetops and on gentle slopes that often border small streams. Moisture regimes are typically dry to dry-mesic.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38603-{A7588488-B49F-43FF-8206-32AD7244C662} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
