Name: Quercus vacciniifolia - Chrysolepis sempervirens Shrubland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance consists of shrublands dominated by <i>Quercus vacciniifolia</i> and/or <i>Chrysolepis sempervirens</i> occurring either in mixed stands together or as the sole dominant. Other shrubs may include <i>Amelanchier alnifolia, Arctostaphylos nevadensis, Arctostaphylos patula, Ceanothus cordulatus, Ceanothus cuneatus, Ceanothus velutinus, Garrya fremontii, Holodiscus discolor, Prunus emarginata</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos mollis</i>. Emergent conifers such as <i>Abies lowiana, Abies magnifica, Pinus jeffreyi, Pinus lambertiana, Pinus monticola, Pinus ponderosa</i>, or <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> may be present at low cover. The herbaceous layer is sparse. Stands occur in the northern Coast Ranges, Klamath-Siskiyou mountains and throughout much of the Sierra Nevada. Topography and substrates are varied but tend towards skeletal, thin, rocky soils derived from granitics, mafic, and ultramafic. They occur on dry rocky and nutrient-poor soils at montane to subalpine elevations (700-3300 m). Climate has long, dry summers and wet winters. Average yearly precipitation totals vary from roughly 200 cm in the northern end of the range to 40 cm in the southern Sierra Nevada.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39126-{E88F9643-A2CD-4D43-A48B-21F754E2C8C5} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
