Observation Narrative ? Plot located ca. 15 m north of jeep road, ca. 50 m east of bend in road at bench before final ascent up Rocky Mountain. Soils atop this relatively broad, high elevation granitic ridge crest are deep, dark and loamy. Many nutrient demanding plants are present. The tree canopy is rather open due to past ice storms damage no doubt. Carex woodii and Calamagrostis porteri recorded on 3 June 1997. Measured trees in plot (dbh in cm.): Quercus rubra (39.2), Carya ovata (34.8).
