Name: Baccharis pilularis - Eriophyllum stoechadifolium Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: Stands of this shrubland association occupy a narrow coastal strip with relatively small total area, from south-central to north-central California. The characteristic species, <i>Eriophyllum stoechadifolium</i>, is largely restricted to bluffs and slopes within a short distance of the open ocean coast. Stands are commonly exposed to strong onshore winds and are often bathed in fog by salt-laden winds much of the year. Stands of this shrubland vary in structure forming an open to intermittent herb layer. Average total vegetation cover is 85%. This association is dominated by <i>Baccharis pilularis</i> and <i>Eriophyllum stoechadifolium</i> and includes <i>Clinopodium douglasii (= Satureja douglasii), Pteridium aquilinum, Diplacus aurantiacus (= Mimulus aurantiacus), Erigeron glaucus, Rubus ursinus, Toxicodendron diversilobum</i>, and <i>Holcus lanatus</i>. It may also include <i>Fragaria chiloensis, Frangula californica (= Rhamnus californica)</i>, and <i>Artemisia californica</i>.
