Name: Adenostoma fasciculatum Shrubland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This widespread chaparral alliance of dry slopes and ridges of interior California is found between 10 and 1800 m elevation. It can occur on all slopes and usually occurs on xeric sites. Stands of this alliance usually occur on shallow, mafic-derived soils. This sclerophyllous, broad-leaved evergreen shrubland is dominated by Adenostoma fasciculatum. Mature stands are densely interwoven thickets of Adenostoma fasciculatum, with other species contributing very little to overall cover. Emergent trees of Quercus wislizeni may be present. Shrubs may include Arctostaphylos glauca, Salvia mellifera, Heteromeles arbutifolia, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Artemisia californica, Toxicodendron diversilobum, Yucca whipplei, and various Ceanothus spp. There is very little understory or herbaceous litter. This alliance intergrades with other chaparral types, coastal scrubs, and grasslands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19637.ADENOSTOMAFASCI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 1
