Author Plot Code	SAMO2855
Author Observation Code	SAMO2855
Original Data Location	SAMO NPS Headquarters, 401 West Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA
Location Fields:	MAP: Google | Yahoo | TopoZone | MapQuest
Confidentiality Status	exact location
Latitude	34.0384477515309 º
Longitude	-118.683233422962 º
Author Location	Malibu Lagoon State Beach
Location Narrative	Arundo has been cut and put through shredder, stumps remain. GPS not working, UTM and elevation taken from map. Salix is either S. laevigata or S. lasiolepis (when this releve was conducted, still unclear on species ID for Salix). Larger specimens believed to be S. laevigata.

Landscape Narrative	Wetland; Description of the plot in relation to the rest of the stand: NE edge of plot is adjacent to a more open area. However, the entire polygon is highly disturbed with non-natives included in areas with a more closed Salix canopy. Overall transect captures the stand well. Some other areas rockier with less understory. Tropaeolum majus density particularly high where transect was laid.
