Name: Pinus monticola - Pseudotsuga menziesii / Quercus vacciniifolia - Notholithocarpus densiflorus Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These woodlands are restricted to a very narrow area of serpentine habitat in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. They occur at low to mid elevations, ranging from 610 to 1220 m (2000-4000 feet), generally on rocky, serpentine or rarely hornblende or basalt slopes. Aspects are mostly southeast, but range to south and west. Slope positions range from ridgetops to the upper 1/3 slope. This is a woodland dominated by <i>Pinus monticola, Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>, and occasionally <i>Pinus attenuata</i> or <i>Pinus contorta</i>. The shrub cover is fairly high and quite diverse, although <i>Notholithocarpus densiflorus var. echinoides</i> (probably, as a tall shrub) and <i>Quercus vacciniifolia</i> always are dominant. <i>Arctostaphylos nevadensis</i> and <i>Vaccinium virgatum</i> are also present in all but a few stands. Other shrubs, including <i>Mahonia repens, Frangula californica, Garrya buxifolia</i>, and <i>Amelanchier alnifolia</i> can also be found. Forbs are minor components of these stands, with <i>Xerophyllum tenax, Pyrola</i> spp., and <i>Whipplea modesta</i> usually present.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32331-{E426368C-1536-479C-BF10-8D24DB1FCA8D} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
