Author Location	Denny Ranch, Tehama County
Location Narrative	Site is located off the main road past Tuscan Buttes in the south portion of the Denny Ranch. Table-like topography with high boulder cover and very thin soil. Species composition consists mainly of Vulpia microstachys and Lasthenia californica. Surrounded on all sides by blue oak savannah. Standing water in plot is very high due to recent (current) rain; it is assumed not to be this high ordinarily.; There do not appear to be any signs of disturbance other than grazing, which appears to be moderate (on account of short vegetation). Cattle are present in the stand.
