[Wikipedia] Ecology: The California black oak is a critical species for wildlife. Oaks (Quercus spp.) may be the single most important genus used by wildlife for food and cover in California forests and rangelands,[7] and California black oak occupies more total area in California than any other hardwood species. Livestock also make heavy use of this species for food and cover. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
