Name: Sesuvium verrucosum Desert Salt Mudflat Scrub Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Stands have an open scrub canopy characterized by saline wet species such as <i>Sesuvium verrucosum</i>. Other species present may include <i>Atriplex</i> spp., <i>Distichlis spicata, Eleocharis palustris, Sporobolus</i> spp., <i>Suaeda moquinii</i>, or <i>Tiquilia</i> spp. Ephemeral herbaceous species may have high cover periodically. Stands generally have low cover of vegetation and may be sparse (&lt;10% total vegetation). Sites are moist or seasonally dry flats and margins of intermittently flooded desert playas, and may extend to coast. This desert scrub alkaline wetland alliance occurs across the warm deserts of North America, extending into the Central Valley and San Joaquin Valley in California south into Baja California and in the Trans-Pecos region of western Texas.
