The plot is located 20 m east of Cohasset Road, just south of the main dirt road into the property. This stand is the lowland part of the hummock/swale system of vernally wet areas, and uplands. There is relatively high water cover in the plot due to recent rains. The substrate is very rocky, and cover consists mostly of Lolium multiflorum and Navarretia leucocephala with high cover of Lasthenia californica also.; Grazing occurs on this landscape for roughly three weeks a year, after the early annual forbs have seeded. This area has not been grazed yet this year.
