Name: Frangula californica ssp. californica - Baccharis pilularis / Scrophularia californica 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 grows on moderate north- and east-facing slopes, from the lower to upper third of the slope. Stands prefer soils which retain moisture much of the year such as moderate sandy loams. This vegetation is heavily dominated by <i>Frangula californica ssp. californica</i> and <i>Baccharis pilularis</i>, which combine for 50-90% cover. <i>Toxicodendron diversilobum</i> may be present (usually less than 10%). The canopy is densest between 2-5 m. <i>Scrophularia californica</i> is diagnostic in the herbaceous and short-shrub layers, ranging from a few percent to 35% cover.
