Original Data Location	AECOM, 401 West A Street, Suite 1200, San Diego, CA
Location Fields:	MAP: Google | Yahoo | TopoZone | MapQuest
Confidentiality Status	exact location
Latitude	33.6827631539027 º

Author Location	Limestone Canyon & Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park
Location Narrative	Ruderal Coastal Sage Scrub with elderberry interspersed. Exotics dominate, stand is clearly visible on aerial adjacent to oak woodland; however, species composition is heterogeneous and the stand is so disturbed it it hard to define as a native type. Curious how this will ordinate.
