Author Location	Leininger Ranch, Tehama County
Location Narrative	The plot is located in the northeast portion of the Leininger Ranch in Tehama County. The plot consists of sparse herbaceous vegetation near a ridge top with thin soils and many exposed rocks. The dominant species include Lasthenia californica, Parvisedum pumilum and Vulpia microstachys. The impact from exotic plants appears to be minimal.; This site is actively grazed by cattle, although there is little evidence of cattle in the plot. The site is under a conservation easement with The Nature Conservancy.
