Name: Pinus washoensis Woodland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This montane and subalpine woodland alliance occurs between 2100 and 2850 m elevation on a few widely scattered areas in the mountains of northern California. It can occur on all slopes, but is most extensive on upper slopes. This alliance requires moderately high annual precipitation, of which a significant portion must fall as snow. The summers are distinctly dry. Substrates in the northern portion of the range are volcanic, grading to granitic in the southern portion. Pinus washoensis is the sole or dominant tree in the canopy of this montane and subalpine California woodland. Pinus contorta var. murrayana, Pinus jeffreyi, Pinus ponderosa, Abies magnifica, Pinus monticola, and Abies concolor may also be present. Shrubs are very sparse, but may include Pseudostellaria jamesiana and/or Lupinus caudatus. The herbaceous layer is dominated by graminoids.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21791.PINUSWASHOENSIS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
