Name: A.125
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Native occurrences of this alliance seem to be restricted to marine terraces and headlands. Eight vegetation combinations closely linked to substrate have been described. ~Pinus radiata$ is the dominant in all of these types, and a secondary species in several other types. Stands of this alliance are dominated by ~Pinus radiata$. ~Quercus agrifolia$ may be important, and other tree species which may be present include ~Pinus muricata, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Pinus ponderosa$, and ~Sequoia sempervirens$. Variations within the shrub and herbaceous layers seem to be linked to substrate, and at least 8 distinct vegetation types have been identified. Common shrubs include ~Arctostaphylos tomentosa, Vaccinium ovatum, Toxicodendron diversilobum, Diplacus aurantiacus ssp. aurantiacus$, and ~Symphoricarpos mollis$.
