Name: Vaccinium uliginosum / Deschampsia caespitosa Dwarf-shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This coastal shrubland association is found in Oregon, and possibly Washington and California. The climate is very temperate with the mean temperatures ranging from 7-15 degrees Celsius. Precipitation is highly seasonal with most rain falling through the fall and winter months. Mean annual precipitation averages 190 cm. Stands grow in swales and ephemeral bogs with a well-developed iron pan about 30 cm below the soil surface. These strongly leached soils have developed in areas of ancient marine terraces, and their distribution is highly localized. The shrub Vaccinium uliginosum is the dominant plant attaining 40% cover, with occasional patches of Sphagnum spp. and Deschampsia caespitosa. Sanguisorba menziesii and Carex obnupta also occur with high constancy.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27146.VACCINIUMULIGIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
