Name: Danthonia californica Valley Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is limited to the rainshadow of the eastern foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. The annual precipitation of the area is less than 100 cm, and summers are hot and dry. This community seems to prefer xeric, somewhat steep sites on south- or west-facing slopes. Soils are typically rocky, and elevations are between 150 and 370 m (490-1200 feet). This is a perennial grassland dominated by <i>Danthonia californica</i> which provides up to 70% cover. Several other perennial grasses may be present in small amounts such as <i>Elymus glaucus, Koeleria macrantha</i> and <i>Festuca rubra</i>. Annuals, such as <i>Epilobium brachycarpum, Madia gracilis</i> and <i>Navarretia</i> spp. may also be present in small amounts. Other perennials present may include <i>Brodiaea coronaria, Fragaria vesca, Pteridium aquilinum</i>, and <i>Ranunculus occidentalis</i>.
