Name: Prunus virginiana - Mixed Shrub Talus Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is currently only described from Lava Beds National Monument, California; it is also known from Great Basin National Park in Nevada. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This vegetation association occurs at lower to middle elevations on steep, northeast- to southeast-facing slopes. Topographic positions include bench, low slope, and high slope. Soils are clay loam, sandy loam, and rock. Soil drainage is rapidly drained. This vegetation association typically occurs on large accumulations of scree on or at the base of cliffs and on old lava flow formations. This small-patch shrubland is codominated by the shrub <i>Prunus virginiana</i> at moderate to high cover and <i>Symphoricarpos rotundifolius</i> at low to high cover. Herbaceous cover is often sparse. The non-native annual grass <i>Bromus tectorum</i> is sometimes present at low to moderate cover.
