Landscape Narrative	Microstegium abundant on nearby fire road--needs control;Spruce-hardwood stand w/ pronounced hummocky microtopography and almost no understory. Hummocks are probably on old down trees/roots, now completely decayed. A few old decayed stumps in the plot. Recent down trees and old trees. Organic layer in the soil profile is deep. Possible old growth. Clear cut in early 1900's, releasing sub canopy trees. Cut again in 1960's for mine struts
