Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0397, Vegetation type confidence: Adenostoma fasciculatum concentration higher on slope in southern part of stand - in an area where the steepness is not as great. Cercocarpus betuloides patch. Heteromeles arbutifolia and Rhus ovata well distributed. Salvia mellifera concentration in eastern portion of stand. Native grasses either Melica or Nassella. Artemisia californica in northern part of stand - steepness section with somewhat poor lighting for this AA. Does not key well as drawn. Two different vegetation associations occurring. Big mappable inclusion of Artemisia californica and native poaceae on steep section; Surveyed stand has an inclusion of Cercocarpus betuloides;
