1 Analysis of CSS and Chaparral Population in Placerita Canyon State Park
Vincent Faria ~ Narith Voeun ~ Matt Briley ~ Joshua Monsanto

2 Placerita Canyon State Park Study Area
State Park established in 1950 The park encompasses: Oak woodland Chaparral Riparian Plant Communities Transecting conducted on CSS/grassland boundaries Chaparral/grassland boundaries

3 Placerita Canyon State Park Study Area

4 Questions Adressed How diverse are CSS and Chaparral plant communities in Placerita State Park? Are CSS and Chaparral plant communities in recovery In Placerita State Park? How have these plant communities changed since 2009?

5 Methods and Tools of Evaluation
Tape measure Garmin GPS unit Camera Google Earth Imagery Calflora website Excel spreadsheet Historical Google Earth photos of Placerita Canyon Park Indicating plant species boundaries & density

6 Data Collection Process
Visited Placerita Canyon Park in Newhall, CA San Gabriel Mountains Selected areas for testing based on Google Earth Research 10 meter transects 1 meter increments Recorded/photographed Plant life at each increment Tabulated data in spreadsheet Used Calflora website to identify specific species Compared results to historical photos

7 Transect Sites 2016

8 Timeline 2009 2011

9 Timeline 2016 2013

10 Results Diversity Levels Beta
Count of all species identified in only one transect 36 species Gamma Count of all species identified 45 species 3 non-species selections excluded (rocks, dead shrubs, bare ground) Alpha Count of all species identified in each transect Transect 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Total Alpha 82 Excluded* 28

11 Ambrosia Acanthicarpa
Most Common CSS found Acmispon Glaber Ambrosia Acanthicarpa

12 Cercocarpus Betuloides
Most Common CSS found Cercocarpus Betuloides Baccharis Pilularis

13 Conclusion and Recommendations
From our timeline analysis, we concluded that CSS growth has been in recovering There is evidence that CSS is recovering based on satellite imagery and GPS coordinates. The data results from our transects indicated that there are more native plants compare to non native plants More data samples are needed to develop a more accurate study

14 Biases Not an accurate representation of the entire park
Transect data from previous years would have been helpful
