Location Narrative ? A denser Arctostaphylos manzanita stand with less blue oak occurs on a south facing slope adjacent to the stand to the SE. Quercus douglasii mixed with Arctostaphylos manzanita occuring on fingers formed by three drainages. Herbaceous layer has lower cover and is mainly composed of non-native grasses. In the NW half of the stand, A. manzanita begins at the top of the hillside and extends ~50 m downslope. After the most southeasterly drainage the stand becomes thin and wraps around the hillside (W-S) until the exposure becomes more SE-facing and the stand extends in length down the hillside.
