Name: Prosopis glandulosa - Ulmus crassifolia Ruderal Flooded & Swamp Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of mesquite woodlands (usually with an open canopy) dominated by <i>Prosopis glandulosa</i>, occurring in alluvial soils along rivers and other drainages. This vegetation is often low-statured and could be considered a tall shrubland. Other small trees may include <i>Carya illinoinensis, Celtis laevigata, Maclura pomifera, Sapindus saponaria, Sideroxylon lanuginosum</i>, and <i>Ulmus crassifolia</i>. This alliance occurs on frequently and infrequently flooded terraces along creeks and streams in the Lampasas Cutplain region and likely other areas of the Edwards Plateau of central Texas. It mainly occurs in ruderal situations, in disturbed areas. At Fort Hood, <i>Prosopis glandulosa</i> occurs as a dominant in some riparian and alluvial situations on older terraces that do not flood frequently, but are within the floodplain.
