Observation Narrative	Sampled stand is a deceptively diverse, dry white oak forest with moderately dense cover of low Vaccinium spp. Numerous low-cover herbs are present, especially around tree bases where dense organic mats and competition from ericad roots are reduced. This stand is quite mature; no evidence of fire was noted. Oak recruitment is decent, but outnumbered by that of red maple.
