Name: Ceanothus greggii - Fremontodendron californicum Shrubland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This chaparral alliance from arid, interior southern California and adjacent deserts to the east occurs primarily on north-facing slopes with shallow soils. The elevation ranges from 700-1700 m, and yearly precipitation totals are generally less than 30 cm. Droughts are common. This chaparral alliance is characterized by evergreen scrub oak species and other sclerophyllous shrubs. The oak species show variation throughout the range of this alliance, but the ranges of the diagnostic species correspond with the range of the alliance. The canopy of this alliance is intermittent, and the herbaceous layer is sparse. Some emergent trees may be present, but they are not common. This vegetation type generally intergrades with other chaparral types or pinyon-juniper woodlands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23803.CEANOTHUSGREGGI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
