Confidentiality Status	exact location
Latitude	36.615530716731 º
Longitude	-120.693680610033 º
Author Location	Ciervo-Panoche Natural Area
Location Narrative	Decadent stand of Atriplex spinifera with some recruitment of smaller shrubs. Plot part of larger stand that is open and disperse. High decadence may be due to poor rainfall for 3 years in this area. Last year herbaceous thatch still standing and this year herbaceous layer is very low in cover. Presence of shrub mortality. Herb diversity is localized to small depressions in ground.
