Landscape Narrative	The community seems continuous up and down slope. The community is confined to a small ridge spur. Heading east or west the plot drops down into more mesic communities.;Dry, low herbaceous species diversity, The slope seems more stable. It lacks the rills from the last few plots.
Representativeness	This is a large patch community. It is an example of the drier oak pine end of the Bluestone Gorge matrix community. The oak and pine are split almost 50/50 with Quercus coccinea dominating the oaks and Pinus strobus the pine.
