Name: Pinus radiata Forest Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... 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.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18767.PINUSRADIATAFOR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
