French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
Aug. 26 (cont). Plants different: Umbellularia californica,
symphoricarpos sp, conyus rostratus, and acon circinum.
This habitat was met with chiefly
on the NW sides of Schoolhouse Peak and NW of
the first hill NW of Wyott Peak. Reasons why
the understory is different were not evident.
2. Harry Oak woodland Bordering grassy
balds (capable below down on the southern facing slopes)
or occasionally filling top of ridges
completely between Douglas Fir forests.
Described on Journal p. 77. Dominants: Quercus
garryana, & occasionally Acer macrophyllum.
3 Grassland on bald tops, & always
lightly grazed or with hay or other crops
being grown. Under other conditions the
balds are apparently covered by #4. I
did not determine the dominant grass or herb
species. Several significant differences in
bird species present are evident as between
this and the next habitat (see table, pp.
86-88), but there are areas where the two
are intermediate between the two, dependent
upon intensity of grazing.
4 Bracken-Herb-& Grass-land. This
apparently occupied the drier, higher
S-SW facing slopes & knolls originally.
Dominants: Asteris afflicula, Dunier sp
(these 2 often to the near exclusion of the others)
and various grasses & herbs.
