• Comparison 2: individual plants in front of recovering and stable communities using Fisher's Exact Test

• Area in front of recovering boundaries
• 34 individuals of 9 native species
• 4 of the 9 dominant species comprised 27 of these 34
• Baccharis pilularis = 11 – Artemisia californica = 4
• Eriogonum cinereum = 8 – Stipa pulchra = 4
• Area in front of stable boundaries
• 12 individuals of 6 species
• 2 of the dominant species comprised 4 of these 12
• Stipa pulchra = 3 – Artemisia californica = 1
• Favoring grassland in front of recovering boundaries
• Baccharis pilularis (p = 0.044)
• Eriogonum cinereum (p = 0.099)
