APPENDIX 3. Examples of Ecological Types These ecological types were used to score the Distribution section of plant assessment forms. Adapted from “Preliminary Descriptions of the Terrestrial Natural Communities of California” drafted by R. F. Holland for the California Department of Fish and Game (1986). Communities within minor ecotypes include all those listed in Holland (1986). Additional information from Sawyer, J. O., and T. Keeler-Wolf. 1995. A Manual of California Vegetation. California Native Plant Society: Sacramento, CA. Major Ecological Types Minor Ecological Types Communities within Minor Ecotypes Marine Systems marine systems kelp and other macroalgae Freshwater and Estuarine Aquatic Systems Dunes Scrub and Chaparral lakes, ponds, reservoirs rivers, streams, canals estuaries coastal desert interior coastal bluff scrub coastal scrub Sonoran desert scrub Mojavean desert scrub Great Basin scrub chenopod scrub montane dwarf scrub Upper Sonoran subshrub scrub submergent and emergent vegetation in standing water submergent and emergent vegetation in moving ephemeral, intermittent or perennial water submergent vegetation in estuaries (seagrass beds) foredunes, dune scrub desert dunes and sand fields interior and relictual dunes, primarily in the Great Valley northern and southern coastal bluff scrub coyote bush, salal, silk-tassel, coastal sage, maritime succulent, Diegan coastal, Diablan, and Riversidian sage scrubs Sonoran creosote bush, Sonoran mixed woody and succulent scrubs Mojave creosote bush, blackbush, Mojave mixed woody, Mojave mixed steppe, and Mojave wash scrubs; Joshua tree woodland big sagebrush and rabbitbrush scrubs; sagebrush steppe desert saltbush, desert sink, desert greasewood, shadscale, valley sink, and valley saltbush scrubs low sagebrush series bladderpod-California ephedra-narrowleaf goldenbush series Grasslands, Vernal Pools, Meadows, and other Herb Communities chaparral coastal prairie valley and foothill grassland Great Basin grassland vernal pool meadow and seep alkali playa pebble plain mixed, redshank, semi-desert, and montane (mixed, ceanothus, manzanita) chaparrals; chamise coastal terrace and bald hills prairies valley needlegrass, valley sacaton, serpentine bunchgrass, valley wildrye and, pine bluegrass grasslands open, steppe-like vegetation of perennial bunchgrasses hardpan, claypan, basalt flow, and San Diego mesa vernal pools wet or dry montane meadows; wet or dry subalpine or alpine meadows; alkali meadows and seeps; freshwater seep low, grayish, microphyllous, and succulent shrubs primarily in transmontane deserts dense clay soils with quartzite pebbles CALIFORNIA INVASIVE PLANT INVENTORY | 33
