Name: Rubus armeniacus - Sesbania punicea - Ficus carica Ruderal Riparian Scrub Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ruderal shrubland alliance forms an open to continuous shrub layer. <i>Ficus carica</i> is the dominant and characteristic shrub. <i>Nerium oleander</i> is sometimes present as an associated non-native, and other shrubs may include <i>Ambrosia dumosa, Atriplex canescens, Ericameria cuneata</i>, and <i>Larrea tridentata</i>. Adjacent woody riparian stands include those dominated by <i>Baccharis sergiloides, Pluchea sericea, Populus fremontii, Prosopis glandulosa</i>, and <i>Salix laevigata</i>, as well as culturally planted stands of <i>Fraxinus velutina, Nerium oleander</i>, and <i>Tamarix aphylla</i>. The alliance was sampled at only two mountain springs in the Death Valley region of California, and patches are small in size (&lt;0.1 ha). Elevations range from approximately 728 to 1401 m. This alliance requires more data to adequately describe, and its small stands are likely an artifact of cultural plantings with escaped individuals.
