Name: Quercus douglasii - Pinus sabiniana Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of oak woodlands with open park-like stands of <i>Pinus sabiniana</i> in the emergent overstory. Dominant oaks include <i>Quercus douglasii</i> and/or <i>Quercus wislizeni</i>. Other species present may include <i>Aesculus californica, Arctostaphylos</i> spp., <i>Ceanothus cuneatus, Cercis canadensis var. texensis, Frangula californica, Juniperus californica, Ribes quercetorum</i>, and/or <i>Pinus coulteri</i> (central and southern Coast Ranges). This alliance is primarily found in the valley margins and foothills of the Sierra Nevada and Coast Ranges of California from approximately 120-1200 m (360-3600 feet) in elevation on rolling plains or dry slopes. Over a century of anthropogenic changes (especially cutting of oak) have altered the density and distribution of woody vegetation.
