Name: Vachellia farnesiana - Celtis ehrenbergiana Riparian Scrub Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance occupies resaca bottoms and other intermittently or temporarily flooded areas in the South Texas Plains and the Coastal Prairie of Texas and Mexico. It is dominated or codominated by <i>Vachellia farnesiana</i>. Other canopy species may include <i>Celtis ehrenbergiana, Prosopis glandulosa, Parkinsonia aculeata, Mimosa pellita</i>, and <i>Sesbania drummondii</i>. Canopy height and closure are variable. Other species in this alliance include <i>Wissadula periplocifolia, Sidastrum paniculatum, Spartina spartinae</i>, and <i>Eleocharis montevidensis</i>. It is a considered a natural disturbance type of river floodplains and depressions that may succeed to <i>Celtis laevigata</i>-dominated forest, especially on floodplains of major streams. It is similar in composition and habitat to occurrences of widespread ruderal vegetation. In wet areas, <i>Vachellia farnesiana</i> often forms nearly pure stands or occurs as scattered individuals within a matrix of weedy grasses during the course of secondary succession.
