Observation Narrative	Plot documents a high-elevation shrubland occupying crevices of massive, fractured granitic outcrops. Two short "social trails" lead from the Appalachian Trail to the top of the plot area. Only minor damage from hikers was evident, mostly on the two rocks closest to the trail. Characteristic lichens at this sampling site were Lasallia pensylvanica, Lasallia papulosa, Xanthoparmelia sp., Dimelaena oreina, Rhizoplaca subdiscrepens, Porpidia sp., Usnea sp., Pseudevernia consocians, and numerous gray and dark crusts.
