Sacramento Orcutt Grass Monitoring - Phoenix Field Ecological Reserve

Published by California Department of Fish and Wildlife | State of California | Metadata Last Checked: July 28, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-04-30T14:21:23.883180
This dataset contains data from a nested frequency monitoing program for two vernal pools containing the endangered Sacramento Orcutt grass (Orcuttia viscida) at the approximately eight-acre California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Phoenix Field Ecological Reserve in Sacramento County, California. Invasive waxy mannagrass (Glyceria declinata) is also present in vernal pools on the Reserve, and can compromise the integrity of vernal pools supporting Sacramento Orcutt grass. Two monitoring macroplots (A and B) were established on the Reserve in 2014 to monitor the frequency of Sacramento Orcutt grass, waxy mannagrass, and other plant species, and as a reference for photomonitoring. This data and metadata were submitted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff though the Data Management Plan (DMP) framework with the id: DMP000044.
