Name: Quercus berberidifolia Shrubland
Reference:
Description: This shrubland occurs on gentle to very steep northwest- and northeast-facing slopes at elevations between 353 and 1676 m (1158-5500 feet). The topography is variable, and the ground cover contains a moderate to high litter content. Parent material is sedimentary, granitic, metamorphic, gabbro diorite, or metavolcanic. Soil texture varies from loamy sand, silt loam, to clay. It is characterized by strong dominance of <i>Quercus berberidifolia</i> in the shrub layer. Other shrub species may be present in low cover, such as <i>Adenostoma fasciculatum, Arctostaphylos glauca, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Fraxinus dipetala, Heteromeles arbutifolia, Rhamnus crocea</i>, and <i>Salvia mellifera</i>. The herbaceous layer is sparse and has no characteristic species, the most common being non-natives such as <i>Hirschfeldia incana, Bromus diandrus, Bromus madritensis</i>, or <i>Bromus tectorum</i>. An emergent tree layer includes <i>Quercus agrifolia</i> in some stands.
