Name: Quercus douglasii - Pinus sabiniana / Cercocarpus montanus var. glaber Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This woodland/forest association is known from the foothills and mountains of the Sierra Nevada from Butte to Fresno counties and the Central Coast in Monterey and San Benito counties. It occurs on somewhat steep to steep north-facing slopes. The overstory tree layer is dominated by <i>Quercus douglasii</i> and is typically codominated by <i>Pinus sabiniana</i>, but the pine can be merely present. The shrub layer is thickly dominated by <i>Cercocarpus montanus var. glaber</i>. Other trees and shrubs may be present but never dominant. The herbaceous layer is typically overwhelmingly dominated by non-native graminoids such as <i>Bromus diandrus, Bromus hordeaceus</i>, and <i>Bromus rubens</i>.
