Name: Quercus kelloggii / Arctostaphylos patula Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forest association is found in the Sierra Nevada from Tulare to Sierra counties, California. Stands of this forest are found at low to mid elevations (1400-2160 m [4600-7100 feet]) on west- and south-facing slopes that are primarily less than somewhat steep (&lt;20°). Soil textures are usually loams and are often from granitic and sometimes andesitic parent material. Stands of this forest are dominated by <i>Quercus kelloggii</i> in the tree layer with an understory shrub layer of <i>Arctostaphylos patula</i> and <i>Ceanothus cordulatus</i>. <i>Calocedrus decurrens</i> may also be quite common in this association. Other tree species may include <i>Abies lowiana, Pinus ponderosa, Pinus jeffreyi, Ceanothus integerrimus, Prunus emarginata, Chrysolepis sempervirens, Chamaebatia foliolosa</i>, and <i>Arctostaphylos mewukka</i>. Rarely occurring are <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercus chrysolepis, Quercus vacciniifolia, Amelanchier utahensis, Arctostaphylos viscida ssp. mariposa, Ceanothus prostratus, Garrya fremontii, Philadelphus lewisii</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos mollis</i>. Most of the tree species in this association have a dbh between 10-28 cm (4-11 inches), and some of the tree species have a dbh of 30-58 cm (12-23 inches).
