Plot ID Fields: 
Author Plot Code ? WURRCH02
Author Observation Code ? WURRCH02
Original Data Location ? California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, Vegetation Classification Program, Sacramento, CA
Location Fields: MAP: Google | Yahoo | TopoZone | MapQuest
Confidentiality Status ? exact location
Latitude ? 39.9109818614327 º
Longitude ? -121.845544655044 º
Author Location ? Wurlitzer Ranch, Tehama County
Location Narrative ? The stand is located above a seasonal drainage north of Pine Creek on the Wurlitzer Ranch. The plot is located about 5 meters south of the drainage on a relatively flat area that is vernally moist. Vegetation is entirely herbaceous (grasses and forbs) with a high level of diversity and many non-native species present. Limnanthes floccosa present in the wetter portions of the stand. This type of vegetation repeats on the south side of the drainage where there is the same topography.; This site has a long history of grazing, and is being grazed currently. Cow hoof prints in the plot. Cow dung in the area surrounding the plot.

Misc Fields: 
Observation Narrative ? cited in Klein et al. 2007 as SNFN0440, Unusual species present: We are unable to determine the subspecies of Limnanthes floccosa. Fruit needed for positive ID, but the phenology was too early at the time of the survey. It is unlikely that this particular plot has the rare subspecies.
