Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0383, Vegetation type confidence: other less than 1% herbaceous species - see hardcopy. 33% vegetation cover. Tall shrub dominated by Malosma laurina and low shrub Eriogonum cinereum. [Changed UTM final to fall within correct GIS polygon according to overlay photocopy. Original coordinates were taken from a NAD27 map.] Some variation in aspect ( a part of polygon has eastern aspect). Small western portion of polygon on the eastern aspect doesn't fit with this stand. Adenostoma fasciculatum - Artemisia californica - Salvia mellifera - Rhus integrifolia dominates this small area.;
