Common (Translated Scientific) Name: California Live Oak / Pacific Poison-oak Riparian Woodland
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This riparian and mesic woodland occurs along gentle to steep, intermittently flooded streams in the interior coastal mountains of central and southern California, from Marin to San Diego counties. Quercus agrifolia is the dominant tree; other trees that may be infrequently to often present in low cover include Salix laevigata, Quercus engelmannii, Pinus sabiniana, Populus balsamifera, and Populus fremontii. Toxicodendron diversilobum is characteristically present and usually dominant in the shrub understory. Other shrub species such as Salix lasiolepis, Rubus ursinus, and Baccharis salicifolia may also occur. Herbs may include the forbs Anthriscus caucalis, Galium aparine, Galium porrigens var. porrigens, and Marah fabaceus, and the graminoids Carex sp., Agrostis sp., and Bromus diandrus.
