Observation Narrative	The plot documents a fire-suppressed oak/heath forest with scattered Pinus rigida and P. pungens. Soils here have a thick build-up of organic matter and support a dense shrub complex of various ericads, Nyssa sylvatica saplings, Castanea sprouts, and some oak recruitment. The latter occurs in gaps created by the death of two large pines.
