Description: This shrubland association is currently only known from Yosemite National Park in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Stands are found at mid elevations (1800-2500 m [5900-8200 feet]) on gentle to somewhat steep slopes (5-24°). This association is found on soils with textures ranging from sand to silt loam derived from granitic parent material. Litter cover at these sites can be high (40-70%). Stands of this shrubland form a continuous shrub layer dominated by <i>Prunus emarginata</i>. <i>Populus tremuloides</i> is occasionally present in the overstory. <i>Prunus andersonii</i> can be common in the shrub layer. The shrub layer may also consist of low amounts of <i>Artemisia tridentata, Ribes roezlii, Purshia tridentata, Cercocarpus ledifolius</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos rotundifolius var. rotundifolius</i>. The herbaceous layer may include <i>Lupinus latifolius, Apocynum androsaemifolium, Elymus elymoides, Gayophytum ramosissimum, Castilleja applegatei, Carex exserta, Carex hoodii</i>, and <i>Holodiscus discolor</i>.
