Author Location	Deer Creek Hills
Location Narrative	The plot is located on a relatively slight slope that is on a lower slope right above and in between two small drainages that meet together outside of the stand. The plot has 0.5 to 1 m diameter areas around decomposing cattle dung where grasses grow tall and are not grazed. Outside of these areas the grasses are grazed heavily.; There is significant cattle grazing on the site, probably because it is adjacent to two small creeks.
