Name: Chaco Serrano Scrub & Grassland Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup represents the mosaic of scrub and grassland that covers the lower, pre-Andean ridges of northwestern Argentina from Cordoba north, from 600 -1500 m elevation, with xeric to subhumid climate. These are scrubs with up to 75% cover and a maxinum height of 2 m, on rocky slopes and foothills with rock outcrops alternating with patches of more developed sandy soils. To the lower elevations the scrub transitions to Chacoan forests and to the upper elevations it transitions to mostly grasslands. Dominant scrub species on the drier slopes are <i>Flourensia campestris</i> and <i>Flourensia oolepis</i>, with <i>Heterothalamus alienus, Eupatorium buniifolium, Baccharis rufescens, Baccharis flabellata</i> alternating with woody species of <i>Lithraea ternifolia, Schinopsis haenkeana</i>, and <i>Fagara coco</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40977-{9AFA9418-E20D-4A04-855D-39A7DF777FE6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
