Name: Cortaderia jubata - Cortaderia selloana Ruderal Grassland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of invading patches of <i>Cortaderia jubata</i> and/or <i>Cortaderia selloana</i> where they are dominant in the herbaceous and shrub layers. Emergent shrubs and trees may be present in low cover. Herbs are &lt;4 m in height, and the canopy cover is open to continuous. It occurs in California at elevations ranging from sea level to 800 m. Habitats are coastal land, disturbed areas, estuaries, grasslands, urban areas, and wetlands. Areas where this alliance thrives receive between 100-200 cm of rain per year. Stands of <i>Cortaderia</i> invade coastal bluff and coastal scrub stands of <i>Artemisia californica, Baccharis pilularis</i>, and <i>Eriogonum fasciculatum</i>. They also invade moist forest stands of <i>Picea sitchensis, Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>, and <i>Sequoia sempervirens</i>, and invade inland riparian stands of herbs and trees in the Central Valley.
