Abstract
The ecological survey area was a candidate RNA, but now it is part of the proposed Iron Mountain RNA, the boundary of which has not yet been determined. The Graham Pinery study area is on the Lassen National Forest, Tehama County, about 23 miles (37 km) NE. of Chico. It occupies portions of sects. 32, 33, and 34 T26N, R2E and sects. 3 and 4 T25N, R2E MDBM (40°03'N., 121°45'W.), USGS Ishi Caves and Butte Meadows SW quads. The entire area is within the Federally-designated Ishi Wilderness. Ecological subsections – Tuscan Flows (M261Fa) and Shingletown-Paradise (M261Dl).
Unless otherwise noted, the following descriptions applied to the Graham Pinery area only in May 1990 when the fieldwork of the ecological survey was conducted; they do not fully represent conditions at present.
