Location Narrative	Atriplex polycarpa stand on steep slopes of narrow canyon above road. Hillside actively eroding. Atriplex polycarpa is patchy through this canyon on the hillsides with low herbaceous cover. Soil seems very clayey, but cracks when bent into a ring. Eriogonum fasciculatum cover is higher on rocky section that faces ESE.
