Landscape Narrative
Upland; Description of the plot in relation to the rest of the stand: Ericameria ericoides dominant for entire stand. Coreopsis gigantea is patchy across stand. Wanted to capture a mix of both diagnostics. This releve area could be considered an inclusion with stand 12x. Coreopsis gigantea cover high now because fully leafed out. Will do another releve within the Ericameria ericoides-dominated section of 12x.
