Landscape Narrative ? Natural forests on Naval facility are little visited. Recent clearcut is uphill along side ridge.;Saddle of side ridge on limestone lithology with brittle platy, surficial rock. Warm aspect supports an open forest/woodland of stunted hickory, sugar maple, and chinquapin oak. There are numerous stumps and scattered dead, ancient junipers. Open physiognomy partly due to logging, but also drought stress or insect pests. Understory is dominated by grass and sedge, with high cover in openings. Juniper killed by fire then cut out for fence posts or fire control?
