Improving Active Restoration

• There are definite vanguard species: Baccharis pilularis and Artemisia californica

• There are species that lead out just in front of recovering boundaries: Baccharis pilularis, Eriogonum cinereum, Artemisia californica, and Stipa pulchra

• There are species that are disproportionately represented in the CSS communities behind recovering boundaries: Baccharis pilularis, Artemisia californica, and Eriogonum fasciculatum

• Behind long-stable boundaries, these three drop away, being replaced by Malosma laurina, Salvia mellifera, and Eriogonum cinereum
