Author Location	Orvis Ranch
Location Narrative	The plot is located in the uppermost, NE corner of Bruce Orvis' Snow Ranch. The plot is on a ridge top, about 1.5 miles NNW of the dam. The plot describes the predominant vegetation type in this portion of the ranch (California Annual Grassland dominated by Taeniatherum caput-medusae, Bromus hordeaceus, and Avena). Across the whole area the dominance of any one of these three (and additionally, Lolium multiflorum and Hordeum sp) shifts but it doesn't seem to do so in any discernable pattern. Goat grass is also present in similar vegetation types nearby, but in smaller patches.; The ranch is heavily grazed, but there is no evidence that the cattle have been up in this portion of the ranch this year.
