Landscape Narrative	Upland; Description of the plot in relation to the rest of the stand: Avoided drainages where Malacothamnus fasciculatus comes in. Top of area has higher herbaceous and Artemisia californica. Lower Salvia leucophylla in this area. Eriogonum cinereum hard to estimate because it is under and mixing in Salvia leucophylla shrubs. In general plot is a good representation of stand.
