CEGL004212 Rhus lanceolata - Baccharis neglecta Ruderal Shrubland
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Prairie Sumac - Rooseveltweed Ruderal Shrubland
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This community is found on deeper soils on the Edwards Plateau and is the result of disturbance. Dominant shrubs include Rhus lanceolata and Baccharis neglecta. Understory species are usually characteristic of disturbed grasslands and may include Schizachyrium scoparium, Bothriochloa ischaemum, Nassella leucotricha, Bouteloua hirsuta, Bouteloua curtipendula, Gutierrezia spp., Ambrosia spp., and Grindelia lanceolata. This community may result after Juniperus ashei [see ~Juniperus ashei Ruderal Forest (CEGL004159)$$] is cleared from a former grassland by mechanical means or by fire. It may also succeed to this community over time if it is not returned to a grassland state with the application of fire or other management activity to control woody growth.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: This community should not be confused with successional shrublands that result from crown fires in natural woody communities; those shrublands should be described as successional stages of the original community.
