Name: Eriogonum fasciculatum - Ericameria (laricifolia, linearifolia) Desert Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is found in upland rocky areas scattered across the Mojave Desert into the southern Great Basin in California and Nevada where it forms an open shrub canopy (9-29% cover) with <i>Eriogonum fasciculatum, Ericameria laricifolia</i>, and <i>Ericameria linearifolia</i> characteristically present and either dominant or codominant. Other shrubs are typically present, including <i>Ephedra nevadensis, Ephedra viridis</i>, and <i>Ericameria teretifolia</i>. Herbaceous cover is variable, ranging from 1-20% and is typically composed of <i>Achnatherum speciosum, Gilia</i> spp., <i>Sphaeralcea ambigua, Stephanomeria pauciflora</i>, and exotic <i>Bromus rubens</i>. Occasional emergent trees may be present, such as <i>Pinus monophylla, Juniperus osteosperma</i>, and <i>Yucca brevifolia</i> with &lt;2% cover. Stands occur at mid to upper elevations primarily on eroding/scree hillslopes and mountains, steep rocky ridgetops, or drainage channels with variable aspects. Sites range from gentle to steep slopes (2-40°) between 1000 and 1900 m elevation in areas with characteristically high colluvial disturbance, erosion, water gullies, or other disturbances. Substrates are typically rocky and composed of loam- to sand-textured soil, or less frequently clay- and silt-textured soil. Soils are derived predominantly from rhyolite or sandstone, though sometimes granodiorite or shale substrates.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:37472-{786CDCA8-8DC8-455C-9322-35F6449B36B0} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
