Location Narrative |
Found in scenic Folsom State Recreation Area, on the shores of Folsom Reservoir, this California Annual Grassland plot is dominated by native forbs. Plagiobothrys nothofulvus, Thysanocarpus curvipes, Lupinus nanus, and Platystemon californicus compose the majority of the vegetative cover, together with Bromus diandrus. The plot is located on the northwest shore of the peninsula area, between Goose Flat Road and North Boat Launch area. The lake shore is 50 m southwest of the plot, and the plot is above the high water mark. There is an interior live oak woodland 15 m east of the plot. The plot has standing dead Centaurea solstitialis throughout. The site was most likely grazed by cattle in the past, but is currently not grazed.
