Observation Narrative
This vegetation is characterized by fast growing tulip poplars. Soils appear to be moderately fertile. The northern aspect may help explain the occurrence of the evergreen species Hexastylis virginica, Goodyera pubescens and Euonymus americanus. Plot situated in a true cove, i.e. concave vertically and horizontally. A considerable amount of bouldery colluvium occurs in this cove. Measured trees (dbh in cm.): Liriodendron tulipifera (50.6), Betula lenta (50.3), Acer saccharum (23).
