Location Narrative ? This is a dense mixed oak and pine stand with a very dense, mature Arctostaphylos subcanopy, and sparse herbaceous cover. The oak and pine trees are middle-aged and young (this seems to be a young stand in general). The management history is unknown, but this hillside was probably cleared or burned between 30-80 years ago.
