Californian North Coastal & Mesic Scrub Group | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Californian North Coastal & Mesic Scrub Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These shrublands are dominated by <i>Baccharis pilularis, Dudleya</i> spp., <i>Hazardia squarrosa, Eriogonum parvifolium, Erigeron glaucus, Eriophyllum stoechadifolium</i>, and <i>Plantago maritima</i>. They occur on sea bluffs and rocky headlands well above the tidal zone throughout rugged portions of the Pacific Coast. Plant communities along these often vertical slopes are typically sparse, with many succulents and prostrate shrubs, and species that readily withstand salt spray and saline soils, as well as seasonal drought. Slope instability and erosion result in severe conditions, setting back succession in this group. This group occurs in Oregon, California, Baja Norte, Mexico, and off-shore islands (e.g., Channel Islands).  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40309-{E51BE3EA-EB38-4FCD-A34A-275D3F6D6255} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
