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°C. 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 <i>Vaccinium uliginosum</i> is the dominant plant attaining 40% cover, with occasional patches of <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. and <i>Deschampsia caespitosa</i>. <i>Sanguisorba menziesii</i> and <i>Carex obnupta</i> also occur with high constancy.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32484.CEGL001250 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
