Name: Rosa californica Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This shrubland is known from the Sacramento River, Suisan Marsh and Pinnacles National Monument, and is expected to occur throughout California. The shrubland is an early-seral community, often found along roads, ditches, edges of drying marshes, riparian areas, washes, and other naturally disturbed or human-impacted areas. This shrubland ranges from less than 0.3 to over 2 m in height. Slopes are low (0-3%), and soils highly variable, from clay, silt loam, to sand. More natural settings are found along riparian areas and around wetlands, where it occurs in narrow strips. <i>Rosa californica</i> is the dominant and characteristic shrub, though <i>Artemisia californica, Baccharis pilularis, Rubus discolor, Salix lasiolepis, Salvia mellifera, Sambucus canadensis (= Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis)</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos mollis</i> may be equally important. Emergent trees such as <i>Salix laevigata</i> may be present. Herbaceous species may be present as well in an open understory, with many non-natives.
