Reference State

Typical area of community 1.1.

Constancy and canopy cover of plants in community 1.1.

Typical area of community 1.2.

Constancy and canopy cover of plants in community 1.2.

Description

The reference state supports two community phases, which are grouped by the structure and dominance of the vegetation (e.g., shrubs, graminoids, and forbs) and by their ecological function and stability. The presence of these communities is dictated temporally by occasional periods of flooding and the potential for post-flood ponding. The reference community phase is represented by scrubland that has graminoids and forbs interspersed throughout. No alternate states have been observed.
