Name: Baccharis pilularis / Carex obnupta - Juncus patens Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This shrubland association is currently only known from Point Reyes National Seashore in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Stands are found in bottomlands adjacent to creeks and swales or on the lower thirds of slopes up to 9°. Soil texture is moderately fine silty clay loam. Parent material is marine sediments. The stands occur adjacent to several associations including <i>Nassella pulchra, Carex obnupta</i>, and non-native perennial grassland stands. <i>Baccharis pilularis</i> does tolerate some intermittent flooding and temporarily saturated soils, however, this association represents the moistest environment known for ~<i>Baccharis pilularis - Morella californica</i> Shrubland Alliance (A3618)$$. Stands of this shrubland form an open to intermittent herbaceous layer and an open to intermittent shrub layer 1-2 m tall. This association is dominated by <i>Baccharis pilularis, Carex obnupta</i>, and <i>Juncus patens</i>, and <i>Holcus lanatus</i> is also commonly found. <i>Bromus hordeaceus, Mentha pulegium, Plantago lanceolata, Bromus carinatus, Cirsium vulgare, Conium maculatum, Elymus glaucus</i>, and <i>Erechtites minima</i> contribute to minor cover. Other species that may be found contributing to minor cover in this association are <i>Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum (= Lolium multiflorum), Lolium perenne, Mentha pulegium, Mimulus guttatus, Pteridium aquilinum, Rubus ursinus</i>, and <i>Iris douglasiana</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34354.CEGL003185 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
