Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Interior Live Oak - Sticky Whiteleaf Manzanita Woodland
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association is found in the Sierra Nevada and foothill regions from Yuba to Madera counties and in Shasta County, California. Stands of this woodland are found at low elevations (180-1300 m [600-4250 feet]) on all aspects of slopes that are primarily less than 45%. Soils are moderately deep, poorly drained to rapidly drained. Soil textures range from gravelly sands to clayey loams from granitic, metamorphic and some sedimentary parent materials. Stands of this woodland are dominated by Quercus wislizeni, Arctostaphylos viscida, and Ceanothus cuneatus with an understory of grasses. Quercus kelloggii and Quercus douglasii may also be found in this association, but are of low cover. Shrubs that may be found here include Heteromeles arbutifolia, Toxicodendron diversilobum, and Rhamnus crocea. Rarely occurring are Aesculus californica, Calocedrus decurrens, Pinus ponderosa, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercus chrysolepis, Quercus lobata, Quercus durata, Quercus x morehus, Corylus cornuta, Fremontodendron californicum, Pinus sabiniana, Adenostoma fasciculatum, Arctostaphylos manzanita, Arctostaphylos viscida ssp. mariposa, Cercocarpus montanus var. glaber, Ceanothus integerrimus, Chamaebatia foliolosa, Diplacus aurantiacus, Eriodictyon californicum, Garrya veatchii, Lonicera subspicata, Prunus subcordata, Frangula californica, Rhus trilobata, Ribes californicum, Ribes roezlii, Rosa californica, Sambucus nigra ssp. cerulea, Symphoricarpos albus var. laevigatus, Apocynum cannabinum, Triteleia laxa, Erodium cicutarium, Ericameria arborescens, and Lupinus albifrons.
