Name: Artemisia californica - Eriogonum fasciculatum / Annual Grass-Herb Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This shrubland association is found in southern coastal California and occurs on gentle to steep southwest- and southeast-facing slopes at low elevations between 99 and 442 m. Parent material includes sedimentary or granite, less often gabbro, diorite, metavolcanic, or mixed granitic and metamorphic. Soil texture is more often sandy loam but varies from sand to clay or silt loam. Stands are characterized by a codominance of <i>Artemisia californica</i> and <i>Eriogonum fasciculatum</i> in the shrub layer, with occasional subdominants such as <i>Salvia apiana</i> and <i>Lotus scoparius</i>. There are a variety of native and non-native species in the herbaceous layer; more common ones include <i>Amsinckia menziesii, Bromus madritensis, Bromus diandrus, Bromus hordeaceus</i>, and <i>Avena fatua</i>. An emergent tree layer is usually absent.
