Location Narrative |
This plot is located on a small BLM parcel in Amador County. The overstory is dominated by sugar pines and ponderosa pines of about the same size. The shrub layer is dominated by Arctostaphylos viscida and young Quercus wislizeni and Quercus kelloggii that are about the same size as the manzanitas. The herb layer is very sparse with Iris, Calochortus, and abundant poison oak that is all uniformly about 15-25 cm tall.; The Quercus wislizeni and Quercus kelloggii are obviously increasing in size. Although there are visible signs of fire the stand seems to have experienced a disturbance of some kind that did not kill the pines. Cattle are grazed on this parcel, but there is no forage in the stand.
