Name: Prunus ilicifolia - Heteromeles arbutifolia Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This shrubland is a mesic chaparral community that occurs in central and southern coastal California on moderate to steep northeast- and northwest-facing slopes at low elevations below 1000 m. Topography is usually concave, mid to upper slopes. Rock cover is relatively high in most stands, derived from granite, sedimentary or metamorphic parent material. Soils tend to be rich sandy to silt loams, mostly shallow but occasionally deep. Stands are characterized by a dominance or codominance of <i>Prunus ilicifolia</i> along with <i>Heteromeles arbutifolia</i> in the shrub layer. A variety of other shrub species may intermix as subdominant shrubs, such as <i>Adenostoma fasciculatum, Arctostaphylos pringlei, Brickellia californica, Cercocarpus montanus var. glaber, Ceanothus cuneatus var. cuneatus, Ceanothus oliganthus, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Keckiella antirrhinoides, Diplacus aurantiacus, Rhamnus ilicifolia, Salvia apiana, Salvia mellifera</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron diversilobum</i>. The herbaceous layer may have native grasses such as <i>Leymus condensatus</i> and <i>Melica imperfecta</i> at low cover. An emergent tree layer may be present and include <i>Umbellularia californica</i> and <i>Quercus agrifolia</i> at low cover.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32582-{888B0AF7-B9D5-44C6-BE13-1AC472FF2486} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
