Misc Fields:
Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0536, Vegetation type confidence: Salvia leucophylla concentrated in NE end of polygon. Diagnostics well distributed throughout. Overall cover not high because of steepness and exposed large rocks. Doesn't fit well in present classification. An Artemisia californica - Eriogonum fasciculatum / weed / sparsely vegetated would fit best.;
