Observation Narrative ? The plot represents forest vegetation on a rocky, south facing slope just above a large, deep and remarkable dolomitic sinkhole, in which a stream emerges on one side and disappears on the other, ca. 0.25 mi SSE of Raven Cliff Horse Camp. While not as mesic, fertile and vegetatively lush as most north or east facing slopes of this area, the habitat supports forb-rich forest growth with impressive floristic diversity.
