Name: Danthonia californica - Festuca rubra Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: A perennial grassland dominated by <i>Danthonia californica</i> and <i>Festuca rubra</i>. Diagnostic species include <i>Deschampsia holciformis (= Deschampsia cespitosa ssp. holciformis)</i> and <i>Calamagrostis nutkaensis</i>. This association occurs along the coastal regions of California and Oregon with cool, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Formerly fairly widespread, this association formed a finely textured mosaic with forest, scrub and other grassland types. Invading exotics and extensive grazing have degraded this association throughout its range, reducing it to a handful of occurrences.
