Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Eastern Mojave Buckwheat - Black Sage - Laurel Sumac Shrubland
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This shrubland association occurs on somewhat steep to very steep southwest- and southeast-facing slopes at low elevations between 0 and 681 m. It is characterized by a codominance of Eriogonum fasciculatum, Salvia mellifera, and Malosma laurina in the shrub layer. The herbaceous layer is generally insignificant and composed of scattered non-native species. The emergent tree layer includes on occasion Quercus agrifolia and Quercus lobata.
