Name: Pinus monticola - Pseudotsuga menziesii / Quercus vacciniifolia - Lithocarpus densiflorus Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: These woodlands are restricted to a very narrow area of serpentine habitat in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. They occur at low to mid elevations, ranging from 610 to 1220 m (2000-4000 feet), generally on rocky, serpentine or rarely hornblende or basalt slopes. Aspects are mostly southeast, but range to south and west. Slope position range from ridgetops to the upper 1/3 slope. This is a woodland dominated by Pinus monticola (17-20% cover), Pseudotsuga menziesii (5-8%), and occasionally Pinus attenuata (6%) or Pinus contorta (30%). The shrub cover is fairly high and quite diverse, although Lithocarpus densiflorus (as a tall shrub at 13-16% cover) and Quercus vacciniifolia (23-33% cover) always are dominant. Arctostaphylos nevadensis (5-17%), Vaccinium virgatum (= Vaccinium parviflorum) (8%) are also present in all but a few stands. Other shrubs, including Mahonia repens, Frangula californica (= Rhamnus californicus), Garrya buxifolia, and Amelanchier alnifolia can also be found. Forbs are minor components of these stands, with Xerophyllum tenax (3-7%), Pyrola spp. (1%), and Whipplea modesta (3%) usually present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19076.PINUSMONTICOLAP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
