Name: Quercus vacciniifolia - Chrysolepis sempervirens Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 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 to high elevations (2040-2620 m [6700-8600 feet]) on moderate to somewhat steep slopes (10-20°). Slopes are generally convex in shape. Aspect ranges from east to west; however, easterly aspects are most frequent. Soils are often poorly developed with textures ranging from rocky to loamy sand on granitic parent material. Soils are easily drained to poorly drained, and depths are shallow to moderately deep. Fire is common. Many of these stands occur on granitic domes and are often in association with a sparse emergent layer of <i>Pinus jeffreyi</i>. Stands have an intermittent to continuous shrub canopy dominated by <i>Quercus vacciniifolia</i> and <i>Chrysolepis sempervirens</i>. Also in the shrub layer is <i>Arctostaphylos patula</i> and <i>Prunus emarginata</i> and occasionally <i>Ceanothus cordulatus</i>. A variety of other species are found contributing to minor cover including <i>Achnatherum occidentale ssp. californicum, Apocynum androsaemifolium, Arnica nevadensis, Carex hoodii, Carex raynoldsii, Carex rossii, Carex specifica, Elymus elymoides ssp. californicus, Erigeron breweri, Holodiscus discolor, Juniperus communis, Juncus parryi, Kelloggia galioides, Penstemon rostriflorus, Pinus contorta var. murrayana, Populus tremuloides, Viola purpurea, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercus kelloggii</i>, and <i>Ribes</i> sp.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36735-{9FF5929E-464D-48B2-9223-202044DCE3B5} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
