Observation Narrative
original plot ID: AA0149, Vegetation type confidence: West-facing slope is Artemisia californica with Salvia mellifera. South and east-facing Encelia californica with Salvia mellifera. Distinct aspect differences. Heteromeles arbutifolia concentration around rocky outcrop. Herb concentrated around road but Brassica nigra found throughout. [Changed UTM final to fall within correct GIS polygon according to overlay photocopy.] 2 different associations within polygon differentiated by aspect. Doesn't key easily because of high cover of non-native herbaceous throughout.;
