Name: Aesculus californica / Toxicodendron diversilobum / Moss Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is a diverse woodland occurring on steep upper slopes, mostly north-facing, but it can occur on eastern and other aspects. The tree layer is dominated by <i>Aesculus californica</i>. <i>Quercus wislizeni</i> may be present as well in lower cover. The shrub layer has several species, of which <i>Toxicodendron diversilobum</i> is the most consistent, although it was not present in every stand sampled. Other shrubs that may be present include <i>Prunus ilicifolia, Diplacus aurantiacus (= Mimulus aurantiacus)</i>, and <i>Keckiella breviflora</i>. The herbaceous layer has a high and consistent cover of mosses, as well as overwhelmingly dominant introduced grasses. This type is documented from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and from the interior Central Coast Ranges of California.
