Location Narrative |
The stand is located in the Deer Creek Hills Preserve, ~20 m east of Latrobe Road, and ~40 m past the first large Quercus on the roadside (headed south). The stand is a grassland with Lupine, Lotus, Plagiobothrys, and Erodium. There are various combinations of these species across a ~5 acre slope. The Hypochaeris will soon flower, and is common. The plot is on a gentle east-facing slope.; The site is actively grazed by cattle, as it has been for at least the last 40 yrs.
