Landscape Narrative	Adjacent areas which are more flood impacted have knocked over trees and complete soil removal, but these levels of disturbance were confined to tributary channels and the alluvial fans at their mouths.;Alluvial fan downriver from tributary outlet with boulder/cobble/sand substrate. Impacted by this summers floods but woody vegetation is intact and there is a new flush of herbaceous vegetation including Polygonum cuspidatum and Andropogon gerardii.
Representativeness	Small patch community on scoured alluvial fan. Impacted by severe summer floods but woody vegetation is still intact.
