Name: Cytisus scoparius - Ulex europaeus Coastal Ruderal Scrub Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This shrubland alliance is found in areas along the northern Pacific Coast. Stands have shrub layers dominated by invasive non-native shrubs species <i>Cytisus scoparius</i> and <i>Ulex europaeus</i>, along with <i>Lupinus arboreus</i>, which is native to central California, but introduced and invasive in northern California, central Oregon and farther north. This semi-natural vegetation often occurs in dune systems stabilized by the introduction of non-native beachgrasses <i>Ammophila arenaria</i> and <i>Ammophila breviligulata</i>, then invaded by introduced invasive shrubs. These areas can be dense shrublands totally composed of one or more of these species, or they can be more open grassland - shrubland mosaics.
