Name: Adenostoma fasciculatum Chaparral Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance is dominated by <i>Adenostoma fasciculatum</i>. Mature stands are densely interwoven thickets of <i>Adenostoma fasciculatum</i>, with other species contributing very little to overall cover. Other shrubs may include <i>Adenostoma sparsifolium, Arctostaphylos glandulosa, Arctostaphylos manzanita, Arctostaphylos viscida, Diplacus aurantiacus, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Heteromeles arbutifolia, Quercus berberidifolia, Quercus wislizeni, Salvia apiana, Salvia mellifera, Toxicodendron diversilobum, Hesperoyucca whipplei</i>, and various <i>Ceanothus</i> spp. Emergent trees of <i>Quercus wislizeni</i> may be present. There is very little understory or herbaceous litter. This widespread chaparral alliance of dry slopes and ridges of interior California is found between 10 and 1800 m elevation. It can occur on all slopes, on xeric sites. Stands of this alliance usually occur on shallow, mafic-derived soils. Habitats are varied topography. Soils are commonly shallow over colluvium and many kinds of bedrock.
