Landscape Narrative	Army Corps land surrounding reservior used for boating, fishing, and swimming. Dominant forests are oak - hickory with much area in successional forest following abandonment of agriculture. Ridgetop forests are generally more intact than bottoms.;Small bench above a rocky break on hillslope. Warm aspect supports a forest of medium - large white oak, black oak, scarlet oak with blueberries in shrub layer and high component of legumes in herb layer. Multiple age / size classes of trees with oak regeneration in shrub layers. Lots of mushrooms, fire scarred snags and charcoal on ground from long past fire.
Representativeness	Small patch or dryer phase of matrix forest? Similar to BEFO.4, but there is not so much evidence of browsing here - likely repeats in small patches with warm aspects.
