Observation Narrative
Plot location: 0.81 km ENE of the summit of Halls Point.
Rock Types Present: minor metabasalt debris.
A dry-mesic forest with mixed canopy of Liriodendron tulipifera, Quercus spp., and Fagus grandifolia. Soils are rather infertile and species richness is considerably lower than that usually associated with oak-hickory forests in the Watery Mountains. The plot is located in an area that was selectively cut around 1990, but no trees were taken within the sampling site.
