Name: Artemisia californica - Eriogonum fasciculatum Shrubland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance is one expression of California coastal sage scrub. Stands grow on steep, south-facing slopes from 250-950 m elevation. Stands of this alliance are subject to long, dry summers and typically grow on sites with low moisture availability. Precipitation averages about 35 cm per year, and falls as rain predominantly between November and April. Some species are relatively inactive during the summer, while others are facultatively drought-deciduous. Artemisia californica and Eriogonum fasciculatum are the important shrubs in the canopy of this shrubland alliance. Other shrubs present may include Adenostoma fasciculatum, Yucca whipplei, Lotus scoparius, Diplacus aurantiacus ssp. aurantiacus, Rhus ovata, Malosma laurina, and Salvia apiana. The herbaceous layer is variable.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26383.ARTEMISIACALIFO Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
