Name: Adenostoma fasciculatum - Arctostaphylos glandulosa - Quercus wislizeni 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. It is likely that this association occurs throughout the central California Coast Ranges. This association grows on ridges and the upper third of moderate to steep south-southwest-facing slopes. Stands are confined to inland valleys out of the coastal fog belt. Soils are medium to fine sandy loams. This highly variable shrubland forms an intermittent to continuous canopy between 1-2 m in height dominated by <i>Adenostoma fasciculatum</i>. Other shrubs present may include <i>Arctostaphylos glandulosa, Baccharis pilularis</i>, and/or <i>Diplacus aurantiacus</i>. Tall shrubs to 5 m may contribute up to 23% cover. These may include <i>Umbellularia californica, Quercus wislizeni, Quercus chrysolepis</i>, and/or <i>Quercus parvula</i>. Emergent trees such as <i>Quercus wislizeni</i> or <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> are sometimes present. The herbaceous layer is sparse.
