JS and Cow Creek Partnership Ranches, Shasta County
Location Narrative
The plot is located in the central eastern portion of the Cow Creek Ranch, 50 m southwest of the Lion's Flat Road on the ridge. The stand is in an ephemeral creek bed forming the vegetated edges of the creek. The adjacent rocky bed is an Eryngium-Marsilea-Isoetes community type (see COWRCH07). Trifolium variegatum, Limnanthes alba ssp. versicolor, and Plagiobothrys stipitatus var. micranthus are co-dominant in this relatively dense herbaceous type (the plot is somewhat less dense and more rocky than the rest of the stand).; The ranch is grazed. Rock mining is taking place nearby.
