Name: Eriogonum fasciculatum - Viguiera parishii Desert Scrub Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance occurs in a variety of upland habitats in the southwestern deserts from southern California to the Sonoran Desert in western Arizona, and extends into southern Nevada. The vegetation is characterized by an open shrub layer dominated or codominated by the facultatively deciduous <i>Viguiera parishii</i> and <i>Eriogonum fasciculatum</i>. Other short shrubs and dwarf-shrubs present may include <i>Agave deserti, Bebbia juncea, Ephedra nevadensis, Encelia farinosa, Ericameria teretifolia, Ferocactus cylindraceus, Galium stellatum, Gutierrezia microcephala, Krameria grayi, Cylindropuntia acanthocarpa, Salazaria mexicana, Salvia dorrii, Simmondsia chinensis</i>, or <i>Yucca schidigera</i>. Occasional emergent tall shrubs or small trees may be present such as <i>Acacia greggii, Fouquieria splendens</i>, or <i>Juniperus californica</i>. The herbaceous layer is generally sparse. <i>Achnatherum speciosum, Adenophyllum porophyllum, Mirabilis laevis var. villosa</i>, short cacti such as <i>Echinocereus engelmannii</i> or <i>Opuntia basilaris</i>, and introduced annual grasses such as <i>Bromus madritensis</i> and <i>Bromus rubens</i> are commonly present. Sites are commonly on moderate to steep colluvial slopes. Stands may also be found in valleys on rocky or bouldery alluvium and along washes and arroyos. Elevation ranges from 900 to 1400 m. Disturbance may be important to stands of this alliances. Soils are coarse-textured and often derived from granitic or volcanic rock.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38438-{E1376FAD-3A22-4440-A035-A15C3357541B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
