Name: Sechura Atacama Semi-Desert Riparian Scrub Macrogroup
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These are communities formed by several successional species adjusted to respond to intermittent surficial or groundwater waterflow characteristic of the western Andean slopes and lowlands of the desertic Sechura and Atacama regions from central Peru to northern Chile. The communities vary based on the geomorphology setting, varying from the bed of intermittent streams to the alluvial margins of more permanent streams, or distal alluvial fans. They are composed of <i>Acacia macracantha, Geoffroea decorticans, Prosopis alba, Salix humboldtiana, Tessaria absinthioides, Pluchea chingoyo, Lycopersicon chilense, Heliotropium curassavicum, Distichlis spicata, Equisetum giganteum, Tecoma fulva</i>, and <i>Trixis cacalioides</i>.
