Observation Narrative
This plot is located in the higher and drier portions of an old, mountain top pasture. The soil in many places were severely sheet eroded and have been slow to recover. Dense sods of drought resistant grasses and forbs-- e.g. poverty grass (Danthonia spicata), dwarf cinquefoil (Potentilla canadensis), goldenrods (Solidago spp.), etc,--now characterize the vegetation.
