The California Native Plant Society established an agreement with the Bureau of Land Management for identifying vegetation resources in the Carrizo Plain National Monument. The project includes conducting field vegetation surveys and producing a detailed vegetation map, which will serve as a baseline for evaluating potential climate change effects on vegetation. Four CNPS staff worked for nine weeks to collect field data in 2010, in collaboration with DFG who also collected field data in the spring. This summer we will enter and analyze data to create a floristically-based vegetation classification and map.
