	Coastal Scrub
		According to this classification, the coastal scrub populations of Poly Canyon are located within the Diablan floristic association of the coastal sage scrub plant formation.
		Sticky monkeyflower occurs in coastal scrub on open, rocky, dry hillsides and cliffs, on canyon slopes, in disturbed areas, and in chaparral borders.

	Coastal Scrub
		Three representative scrub assemblages (not strictly limited to the coast) are the northern coastal scrub, southern coastal sage scrub or soft-chaparral, and arid hard-chaparral.
		Sage scrub communities are easily identified by their characteristic fragrance and long flowering season, which may extend over half the year.
		In the northern part of the state this community occurs inland, but in the southern Coast Ranges it is contiguous with sage scrub community.

		Coastal tidal marshes are often brackish (somewhat salty, with salt levels from 0.5 to 30 parts per thousand; sea water is 35 parts per thousand salt).
		Northern coastal swamps are dominated by Atlantic white cedar, red maple, and fl gum, with common winterberry, sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), and azaleas (Rhododendron spp.) among the most common woody understory species.
		Coastal scrub and thicket vegetation often serves as a transition between maritime beach and grassland habitats and interior forests and wetlands.

		Coastal scrub communities are dominated by small to medium sized (3-6 feet tall) shrubs with a herbaceous understory.
		Northern coastal scrub communities are dominated by evergreen shrubs one to two meters tall often with a well developed herbaceous or low-woody understory.
		Coastal Scrub usually forms a mosaic with the grassland and also integrates with the coast live oak woodland and to a lesser extent the riparian woodland where they form part of the understory vegetation.

	Species: Baccharis pilularis
		Coyote bush is a dominant shrub in northern coastal scrub communities and a minor component of coastal beach communities, coastal sage scrub, chaparral, foothill woodlands, closed-cone pine forests, and mixed-evergreen forests.
		Coastal populations of the prostrate form of coyote bush experience moderate temperatures with summer fog, seaspray, and heavy onshore winds [45].
		Coastal sage scrub is present in about 15% of its former habitat, primarily because of agricultural, industrial, and residential development [59].

	coastal scrub
		As in other plant communities of the Point Reyes Peninsula, plant association among the northern coastal scrub community is greatly affected by the micro-climates and soil formations throughout its range.
		The Coastal Scrub community of the Peninsula is dominated by coyote bush (Baccharis pilularis) or bush lupine (Lupinus arboreus) (Bakker 1984; Evens 1993; Shurford and Timossi).
		Coastal scrub, or chaparral as it is commonly referred to, is typically characterized by "tough-leaved evergreen shrubs that are adapted for life in a relatively dry habitat" (Kozloff and Beidleman p.

		Native tule elk were extirpated from the peninsula by 1855, probably because of competition with domestic livestock and the loss of the native forbs and grasses that are crucial to their diet.
		Large swaths of the coastal strand at Point Reyes are dominated by non-native beach grasses (originally from the Mediterranean area) and ice plants introduced from Australia as early as 1896 to stabilize sand dunes.
		The influx of Russian sealers in the late 18th century and first half of the 19th century and Boston whalers in the latter half of the 19th century decimated northern fur seal populations as well as populations of all species of whales that were once abundant off the seashore.

	Chapter 8
		Very few wildlife species are associated with coastal bluff habitats; those that are include bird species that are primarily associated with other habitats in the area and that have stopped to feed or perch opportunistically, or that nest in or along the cliff face.
		Brown pelicans nest on the ground, in colonies on small coastal islands that are free of nonmammalian predators and human disturbance.
		Due to the high recreational use, the composition of the bluffs, the low amounts of vegetation on the bluff face, and the mobility of the concrete rubble, this particular intertidal area is considered to have a relatively low ecological value.

		The Alameda whipsnake occurs in the northern coastal scrub and chaparral habitats of Contra Costa and Alameda counties.
		The Alameda whipsnake is typically found in northern coastal scrub, coastal sage scrub and chaparral plant communities (Ornduff 1974, Swaim 1994), but may also occur in adjacent grasslands and oak and oak/bay woodlands (Swaim 1994).
		In addition, many of the native coastal scrub and chaparral plant species require periodic fires to stimulate new sprouting, seedling recruitment, and seed dispersal (Parker 1987; Keeley 1987, 1992).

		This April the coastal sage scrub community of southern California and the imperiled California gnatcatcher made headlines in separate actions that promise to redefine how the United States meets the challenge of conserving biotic diversity.
		Qualities of the coastal sage scrub itself limit the information available for conservation planning for that ecosystem.
		Many observers believe that the coastal sage scrub program, with which the Center for Conservation Biology has been so intimately involved, promises to replace the traditional emergency single-species applications of the Endangered Species Act with more proactive efforts to address biodiversity at the ecosystem level -- an ultimately much more effective approach to long-term conservation.
