Author Location	Wurlitzer Ranch, Tehama County
Location Narrative	This stand is a band of Ceanothus cuneatus and Eriodictyon on a south slope near the top of a major ridgeline. This vegetation type repeats frequently throughout this Tuscan landscape, but aspect does not appear to determine it's distribution. Both shrub species in this stand are heavily browsed by cattle and deer. The understory is dominated by invasive exotics. Pinus sabiniana and Quercus wislizeni occur sporadically throughout this vegetation type but are not in this plot.; The site is actively grazed by cattle. The area was likely burned in a large 1991 fire that originated under the power lines nearby. There are fire scars on the Pinus sabiniana in the area.
