Surface mining of limestone in the San Bernardino Mountains has caused loss of native vegetation and of habitat for four carbonate-endemic plant taxa. In this paper, the authors characterized features of carbonate substrate and of habitat occupied by two of these species: Cushenbury milkvetch (Astragalus albens) and Cushenbury buckwheat (Eriogonum ovalifolium var. vineum) to assist in developing revegetation success criteria for mined lands.
