Body
Plant species richness and the proportion of native species in a complex of adjacent serpentine and nonserpentine meadows was examined in northern Napa and southern Lake counties in California. Twenty sites were sampled at each of four treatments (serpentine/grazed, serpentine/ungrazed, nonserpentine/grazed, and nonserpentine/ungrazed). Species richness, percent cover, soil probes and site characteristics were recorded in 1998. In early June after the growing season had ended total biomass was clipped.
