Observation Narrative ? This plot is environmentally and compositionally similar to plot BISP002, but is comparatively more wooded, with very stunted Pinus virginiana. Rock surfaces here show more signs of trampling wear, as well as fewer foliose lichens and mosses than in BISP002. Dimelaena oreina is the most abundant/conspicuous lichen.
