Location Narrative |
The site is located in the hummock/swale system of vernally wet herbaceous lowlands and highlands consisting of annual grasses and forbs. The stand is about 100 m east of Cohasset Blvd., near the Chico airport. The substrate is wetter than usual due to recent heavy rains, but there is no standing water. Cover is dominated by annual grasses, mostly Vulpia microstachys and Avena barbata.; This area is grazed annually for about three weeks a year once the early native forbs have gone to seed. It has not been grazed yet this year.
