Location Narrative	Stand appears to be very vast, difficult to estimate how large. Expansive (many, many acres) undulating landscape with consistent dominance of evenly spaced, multi-aged (decadent, juvenile, and mature) open Atriplex spinifera. Exposed ground has network of litter and bare ground on surface. Bioturbation by coyotes, tarantulas, rodents and ants is widespread. Understory is sparse and comprised mostly of Erodium cicutarium.
