Author Observation Code ? 095-MONF-0360
Location Fields: MAP: Google | Yahoo | TopoZone | MapQuest
Confidentiality Status ? 100 km radius (nearest degree)
Latitude ? 39 º
Longitude ? -79 º
State or Province ? West Virginia
Named Places
county: Pendleton
region|state|province: West Virginia
Layout Fields: 
DSG Polygon ? 20 (X) x 20 (Y)
Shape ? Square
Area ? 400
Permanence ? not permanent
Environment Fields: 
Elevation ? 1113 m
Slope Aspect ? 270 º
Slope Gradient ? 25 º
Topographic Position ? Upper slope
Landform ? Boulderfield/talus
Surficial Deposits ? sandstone
Rock Type ? sandstone
Landscape Narrative ? Long ridgeline with limited access by trail. Other community types on ridgetop include Pitch Pine woodlands, Oak / ericad forests, Oak - Hickory glady woodlands.;Small gap in cliffline on ridgetop where a boulderfield is formed in a bowl. Community is patchy with areas of dense canopy and areas of open rock field. Canopy is dominated by Sweet Birch with some Mounatin Ash and Mountain Maple. Rocks are lichen and moss covered. Trees are small compared to similar stands observed this year. Rocks appear weathered in place and only slightly mass wasted.
Representativeness ? Small patch of boulderfield forest. Community is small and irregluar, so placing plot without slop from adjacent types on soil is difficult.
