Name: Baccharis salicifolia Riparian Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This riparian shrubland is known from central and southern interior coastal mountains of California, the Anza-Borrego Desert, and south into Baja California, Mexico. It is often found along washes, springs and riparian corridors. It is usually a small stringer community. It can occur on steep slopes associated with springs. Soils are course to fine sandy loams, mostly derived from alluvium. Elevation ranges from 216 to over 914 m (708-3000+ feet). The shrub layer is dominated by <i>Baccharis salicifolia</i>. Non-native <i>Tamarix</i> is often found but usually in relatively low cover. <i>Baccharis pilularis</i> may also be present in low cover. The herbaceous layer is dominated by a variety of non-native and native species such as <i>Ambrosia psilostachya, Bromus hordeaceus, Hirschfeldia incana, Lepidium latifolium, Artemisia douglasiana</i>, and <i>Urtica dioica</i>. <i>Salix gooddingii</i> or <i>Platanus racemosa</i> may be emergent in some stands.
