Maritime CoastRange Ponderosa Pine forests are rare temperate forest assemblages associated with a limited range portion of the Santa Cruz Mountains of northern California . There are only three known small forests of this type, all situated in Santa Cruz County, California . The dominant tree species is the Ponderosa Pine . Description This sparse forest type thrives on very sandy Zayante soil s that are isolated pockets of decomposing sandstone from the Miocene terraces of the coastal range. These forests are deemed to be relict s of once larger expanses found when this region was geologically even younger, and hence had more evidence of the sandstone erosion of the ancient Tectonic uplift uplift ed ocean floor. One of these three forests is located atop a ridge that straddles the Carbonera Creek and Zayante Creek Drainage basin watershed s ref USGS Quadrangle Map, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, 1980 . ref of Santa Cruz County, California within the western slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains . The forest in the Carbonera Creek watershed is also home to two endemism endemic insect s whose narrow range is closely associated with the Maritime CoastRange Ponderosa Pine forests. ref http www.epa.gov docs fedrgstr EPA SPECIES 1997 January Day 24 e1674.htm U.S. Federal Register listing for two endangered insects within Maritime CoastRange Ponderosa Pine forests ref See also Ponderosa shrub forest Category Plant communities of California Plant communities of California High conservation value forest Endangered arthropod References div style font size 90 references div External links http www.epa.gov docs fedrgstr EPA SPECIES 1997 January Day 24 e1674.htm U.S. Listing document for two endangered insects within Maritime CoastRange Ponderosa Pine forests coord ... of the California Coast Ranges Category Geography of Santa Cruz County, California Category Plants ... history of Santa Cruz County, California Category Santa Cruz Mountains California geo stub ... more details
