Notes

The shinnery oak community (Quercus havardii, Rydb.) is the ubiquitous vegetative subtype in the East Chaves Planning Unit, comprising 215,000 acres of public land. Because the geographic location of the Roswell BLM District, the shinnery oak community falls into the Desert Plains grassland, being characterized by such grasses as black grama (Bouteloua eripoda), tobosa and/or galleta grass (Hilaria mutica and jamesii) and dropseeds (Sporobolus spp.). But due to the sandy medium that occurs throughout the shinnery oak community the dominant grasses are: sand bluestem (Andropogon hallii), little bluestem (Schizachryium) and three-awns (Aristida spp.).
