Longitude	-120.77807407224 º
Author Location	Orvis Ranch
Location Narrative	The plot is located in the eastern central portion of the ranch, just north of the road in what seems to be a seep. The substrate is deep, saturated soil with a high density of herbaceous cover of typical emergent wetland species dominated by Carex densa. The stand starts at the top of the seep and winds down into a draw NW of the plot. Outside of the designated sampling plot are areas of much higher cover of Mimulus guttatus, Stachys stricta, Glyceria sp., and Holcus lanatus.; This area is apparently grazed due to cowpies and bioturbation in the plot, but the intensity of grazing seems to be very low based on height and density of vegetation in this plot and surrounding stands.
