Description: Stands of this widespread California foothill and mountain woodland alliance grow on uplands and valleys with gentle to steep slopes and intermittently flooded soils. The soils are usually shallow, infertile, and moderately to excessively drained. The surface is often covered with stones and rock outcrops. This alliance occurs from 300-2100 m in elevation. Annual precipitation is highly variable, depending on topographic location and region. Western Mojave stands receive as little as 20 cm of precipitation per year, while northern coast stands may receive more than 80 cm annually. This alliance is dominated by ~Pinus sabiniana$ in the canopy or as emergent trees over a shrub canopy. Other trees present may include ~Quercus kelloggii, Quercus douglasii, Quercus agrifolia, Quercus wislizeni, Quercus durata, Quercus dumosa, Quercus lobata, Pinus coulteri, Heteromeles arbutifolia$, and ~Juniperus occidentalis$. Shrubs may include ~Cercocarpus montanus var. glaber, Adenostoma fasciculatum, Rhamnus$ spp., ~Arctostaphylos$ spp., and ~Ceanothus cuneatus$.
