Disturbed land means areas that have been physically disturbed (by previous legal human activity) or invaded by nonnative species and are no longer recognizable as a native or naturalized vegetation association, but continues to retain a soil substrate. This would include areas that have been graded, repeatedly cleared for fuel management purposes and/or experienced repeated use that prevents natural revegetation (i.e., dirt parking lots, trails that have been present for several decades). Typically vegetation, if present, is nearly exclusively composed of non-native plant species such as ornamentals or ruderal exotic species that take advantage of disturbance, or shows signs of past or present animal usage that removes any capability of providing viable natural habitat for uses other than dispersal. Habitat that is the result of natural processes and succession may not be considered disturbed land.
