Name: Cupressus macnabiana Forest [Placeholder] Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Stands of the Cupressus macnabiana forest occur from 300-800 m elevation in northwestern California and southwestern Oregon. The climate of this region is distinctly Mediterranean with droughty summers and moist winters. Annual precipitation varies across the region and with elevation, from roughly 30 cm to 80 cm/year. Stands of this forest type are typically on upper slopes and underlain by a variety of infertile parent materials including basalt, conglomerates, gabbro, greenstone, and ultramafic serpentine. Cupressus macnabiana is the sole or dominant tree. Several other conifers may occur and be codominant, including Pinus attenuata, Pinus sabiniana, and Cupressus sargentii. Broad-leaved trees may also be present, such as the deciduous Quercus douglasii and the evergreen Quercus wislizeni. Shrubs typically include Ceanothus cuneatus and Arctostaphylos viscida, and on serpentine substrates Quercus durata and/or Ceanothus jepsonii.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25906.CUPRESSUSMACNAB Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
