Location Narrative |
The stand is located in the southern half of the Deer Creek Hills Preserve, near the eastern edge of the broad band of oak woodland that bisects the reserve from north to south. The plot is in the NW quadrant of the NE quarter of section 26. The stand is dominated by Eschscholzia lobbii and Plagiobothrys nothofulvus, at least visually. There is also a heavy cover of Bromus hordeaceus throughout the plot. The stand is on a north-facing slope at the edge of blue oak woodland.; The site is actively grazed by cattle, as it has been for at least 40 years.
