Observation Narrative ? This site features a large woodland/barren complex covering about 60 acres on a southeast facing slope underlain by amphibolite/metagabbro. The plot captures an open, grassy, woodland adjacent to a more open, herbaceous barren. The trees are stunted and gnarled. The soil surface is covered with stones that are covered with lichens. The southeast corner of the plot is in a "boulderfield". The plot location is marked with two tree tags. A 37.5 cm Quercus stellata with tag #460 is near the center of the plot and a 21.25 cm Juniperus virginiana in the NW corner of the plot has tag #459. A plot map is illustrated on the original hardcopy plot form.
