Observation Narrative	A very small occurrence of a permesotrophic forest on a mesic site with exposed limestone and soils undoubtedly influenced by a basic bedrock. Low on the north slope of a ravine which cuts through Ordovician limestones at the core of a "whaleback," a secondary anticlinal ridge running parallel to and at the foot of the main Peters Mountain ridge. The community just upslope is a drier, meso- or submesotrophic Quercus alba - Quercus montana / Muhlenbergia tenuifolia forest, which grades upward into a Quercus montana- dominated forest. The transition from the former downslope into this Acer saccharum - Fraxinus americana - Tilia americana - Liriodendron dominated rich cove forest where the limestone is exposed is sudden and striking. This community covers only a tiny portion of the study area. Plot located ca. 1.1 mi east of Hematite, one steep lower slopes with limestone outcrops just north of a small perennial stream.
