Author Observation Code ? DONPED05
Original Data Location ? California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, Vegetation Classification Program, Sacramento, CA
Location Fields: MAP: Google | Yahoo | TopoZone | MapQuest
Confidentiality Status ? exact location
Latitude ? 37.6972824543277 º
Longitude ? -120.387108560771 º
Author Location ? Don Pedro Reservoir, Tuolumne County
Location Narrative ? Stand is located in the middle of a dirt road that leads from the Bonds Flat Rd out to the tip of a peninsula on the south end of Don Pedro Reservoir. The road is possibly abandoned and has visibly not been used this year. The species composition of this plot repeats in varying degrees along this road and is dominated by tall Vulpia microstachys, Bromus hordeaceus, and Micropus californicus.; The stand is in the middle of a previously used dirt road, so human disturbance was high at some point in the past. This area is not grazed, resulting in a very tall herb layer and, possibly, increased competition from exotic annuals.
