Observation Narrative
Plot is situated at the base and encompassing a side slope of a narrow stream valley. The stream is intermittent. The stream has exposed the Shady dolomite and consequently, soils are enriched below the small outcrops. Unavoidably, this plot encompasses a range of habitat/site conditions including sideslope and stream bottom. Consequently, the floristic data might confound future data analysis. Liriodendron in plot, 53.7 cm dbh, good condition.
