Name: Aesculus californica Woodland Alliance
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This woodland alliance of cismontane California requires shallow, excessively drained soils on steep, north-facing slopes. Elevations range from 100-1500 m. Aesculus californica is the dominant or important species in the tree layer and can attain tree size due to the low fire frequency. Other trees present may include Umbellularia californica, Fraxinus dipetala, Pinus sabiniana, Prunus ilicifolia, Quercus wislizeni, and Heteromeles arbutifolia. Shrubs are infrequent, and the herbaceous layer is sparse.
