Name: Baccharis pilularis / Bromus carinatus - Ranunculus californicus Mesic Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This coastal scrub has a shrub cover of <i>Baccharis pilularis</i> with 3-36% canopy coverage. The understory is a mix of native herbaceous species often with a high cover of non-native grasses. A suite of native herbaceous species, such as <i>Bromus carinatus, Corethrogyne filaginifolia, Nassella pulchra, Festuca idahoensis, Elymus glaucus, Agoseris grandiflora, Ranunculus californicus, Gamochaeta ustulata, Leymus triticoides</i>, and others, can be present. The non-native introduced grasses <i>Bromus diandrus, Bromus hordeaceus, Briza maxima</i>, and <i>Avena</i> species can be abundant with up to 20% relative cover. However, this is not considered a ruderal type because of the mix of native herbaceous species that in combination provide greater relative cover than the non-native species. This association occurs on the southern California Channel Islands, and along the central California coast mainland.
