Name: Arctostaphylos glandulosa - Quercus wislizeni Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 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. This association is found at low elevations on the upper third or ridgetops of 15-22° slopes with south-southeast aspects. Soil textures range from generally moderately fine sandy clay loam to moderately coarse, sandy loam of sandstone or siltstone origin. These slopes are generally gravelly or cobbly. Most stands are above the average level of summer fog. Stands of this shrubland form an open understory herb layer and an open to continuous shrub layer. <i>Arctostaphylos glandulosa</i> and <i>Quercus wislizeni</i> are dominant. <i>Lonicera hispidula, Aira caryophyllea, Diplacus aurantiacus</i>, and <i>Notholithocarpus densiflorus</i> are also present. Additional species, contributing little cover, vary and may include <i>Umbellularia californica, Adenostoma fasciculatum, Heteromeles arbutifolia, Melica torreyana, Galium nuttallii, Holcus lanatus, Pellaea mucronata, Ceanothus cuneatus, Bromus diandrus, Agrostis hallii, Iris</i> sp., <i>Ceanothus</i> sp., <i>Vaccinium ovatum, Lepechinia calycina</i>, and <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i>. <i>Quercus wislizeni</i> may act as a shrub or a small tree in this association, probably reflecting varying moisture and fire history among stands.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32063-{FD612A10-9303-4F0D-9668-C3CF44A99942} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 1
