Observation Narrative
Plot location: Ravine 0.1 miles S of the Appomattox River and 0.7 miles W of the mouth of Rocky Ford Creek.
Soils of this east-facing lower slope have notably high Mn levels, which suggest the influence of a basic substrate. Vegetation is a diverse, dry-mesic oak-hickory forest with very mixed woody layers and a dense, species-rich herb layer. Four Carya spp. occur in the plot.
