Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Mescalbean - Texas Persimmon - (Algerita) Ruderal Shrubland
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association is a disturbance type, resulting from heavy grazing and browsing of Edwards Plateau woodlands, often accompanied as well by other manipulations, such as bulldozing or cedar removal. Scattered remnant trees may be present, especially Quercus fusiformis and Juniperus ashei. Shrub cover varies from very open to dense, and is characterized by variable mixtures of Sophora secundiflora, Diospyros texana, Mahonia trifoliolata, Opuntia engelmannii var. lindheimeri, Juniperus ashei, and Quercus fusiformis. Characteristic graminoids are disturbance-increasers, such as Aristida purpurea.
