Type Concept: This riparian woodland occurs in central and southern coastal mountains of California. It occurs along gentle low-gradient stream and river terraces and ranges in elevation from 237 to 890 m (777-2923 feet). The parent material is alluvium or mixed granitic, and soils range from sand to silty clay loam with high litter cover. Salix laevigata occurs as a tree overstory dominant. Platanus racemosa, Populus fremontii, Quercus lobata, and Quercus agrifolia may be present with low cover. A shrub layer is often present with high to low cover of Salix lasiolepis; other shrubs that may be present with low cover include Baccharis salicifolia, Salvia spathacea, Rubus ursinus, and Amorpha fruticosa. A wide variety of herb species occupy the understory, with Artemisia douglasiana characteristically present. Other herbs often occurring include Mimulus guttatus, Ambrosia psilostachya, Bromus diandrus, Bromus hordeaceus, Hirschfeldia incana, Marrubium vulgare, Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum, and Urtica dioica.
