Observation Narrative
Plot captures low scrub vegetation on a massive granitic outcrop capping the Blue Ridge at Marys Rock. Repeated winter wind and ice impacts have severely pruned woody plants. Prominent lichens include Lasallia papulosa, L. pensylvanica, Dimalaena oneina, Rhizoplaca subdiscrepens., Stereocaulon glaucescens., and an unidentified gray crust.
