Location Narrative |
Slope exposure and steepness vary greatly over entire polygon. Disturbances outside of plot include road, trails, signs, and various developments. The frequent mowing of area within polygon probably accounts for the greater density of Erodium botrys. Lower herb material missed by mower. GPS taken in center of releve plot.
