Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0077, Vegetation type confidence: Nassella vs Melica uncertain ID. Artemisia californica and Eriogonum cinereum spread throughout. Salvia mellifera a little more patchy. Tall shrubs also somewhat patchy in their distribution. Most of polygon viewed well. Rhus int placed in tall shrub stratum although most of it fits in short shrub stratum. Quarter quads POMU_NE and POMU_SE Stand ID# = 1070 on paper overlay copy. 2/18/09 jbc Keys well as an Artemisia californica - Eriogonum cinereum association with a good schlerophyll large shrub component. Salvia mellifera also present in good amounts.;
