Author Location	Deer Creek Hills
Location Narrative	The stand is located in the Sacramento Valley Conservancy's Deer Creek Hills area. The plot is in the SE corner of the preserve, where Michigan Bar Road hits the corner of the property and proceeds straight north. The plot is ~50 m directly south of a very large blue oak at the top of a hill (~1/8 mile from N corner and 100 m from the road). The vegetation type represented by the stand repeats throughout the grassland. The stand contains thin soil, some exposed bedrock, and loose quartz. It is dominated by Plagiobothrys, Bromus hordeaceus, Lotus, and Gilia.; The site is actively grazed by cattle, as it has been for at least the last 40 years.
