Name: Ulex europaeus Ruderal Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This invasive 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 of this association are found on gentle to moderate, east-facing slopes. This association grows on the lower to upper third of the slope, on moderately coarse, sandy loams derived from Franciscan Melange. These stands are typically on land with a long grazing history. Prior to colonization by <i>Ulex europaeus</i> the land was dominated by non-native annual grassland. The open to intermittent canopy is dominated by <i>Ulex europaeus</i> (exotic). A wide variety of exotic and native forbs and graminoids are usually present. These can include <i>Hypochaeris radicata</i> (exotic), <i>Calystegia purpurata, Plantago lanceolata</i> (exotic), <i>Chlorogalum pomeridianum, Anagallis arvensis</i> (exotic), <i>Carex</i> sp., <i>Rubus ursinus</i>, and/or <i>Holcus lanatus</i> (exotic).
