Author Location ? Morales Ranch, El Dorado County
Location Narrative ? Morales Ranch is an easement of the American River Conservancy. The stand consists of a fairly open canopy of mature Quercus kelloggii, and multi-aged Pinus ponderosa, with a dense low tree/tall shrub layer. The density and cover of species vary slightly throughout this stand, some areas being more or less dense. This entire landscape was modified for gold mining until the 1930's, but this stand is well established despite the historic disturbance.
