Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0608, Vegetation type confidence: Juglans californica without leaves. Cover would be higher otherwise. Eastern half of polygon dominates by Juglans californica with Ceanothus spinosus. Western half pretty much pure Ceanothus spinosus. Understory not viewed. Keys well although there are heterogeneity issues ( see AA comments). Polygon should probably be split.;
