Location Narrative ? This stand consists of diverse chaparral dominated by Arctostaphylos viscida, Adenostoma fasciculatum, and Quercus durata. There are some emergent Quercus wislizeni and presence of large shrubs indicate a fire-free period of at least 20 years. There is also high understory cover of Salvia sonomensis. A small trail cuts through a portion of the stand.
