Station identifier | Latitude | Longitude | Installation date | Removal date | Relative density | Vegetation description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SC | 34˚48’27.0” | 114˚32’02.0” | 05–23–02 | 06–16–04 | High | High-density saltcedar. Few areas of bare, fine soil. Moist on surface part of the year, some moisture less than 1 foot in depth. Depth to water is about 8 feet. |
MV | 34˚46’17.1” | 114˚31’34.5” | 05–22–02 | 06–16–04 | Medium | Medium-density, mixed vegetation. Screwbean mesquite, saltcedar, salt grass, arrowweed, baccharis, sharp-leafed rush. Very little bare soil. Medium grained soil is dry mostly at surface; some moisture about 1 foot below surface. Depth to water about 4–8 feet. |
AW | 34˚47’55.7” | 114˚33’15.4” | 12–18–02 | 06–16–04 | Low to medium | Low-to-medium density arrowweed. Few saltcedar or mesquite. Some areas of bare, sandy soil. Dry on surface, some moisture at 1–2 feet depth. Depth to water is about 8 feet. |
