Author Location ? Lost Lake Park, Fresno County
Location Narrative ? Alnus rhombifolia stand on island surrounded by stream. Shrubs Cephalanthus occidentalis and Rubus discolor and herbs line the edges of the island while the center of the island lacks an understory layer due to human disturbance (trampling). A similar island to the south has a more prolific Rubus discolor understory throughout the whole stand at 50% cover (possibly because of its inaccessibility).
