Landscape Narrative	Below the plot the community remains similar except where there are small bands of exposed calcerous shale. Here the community picks up Quercus muehlenbergii, Fraxinus americana, and Viburnum rafinesquianum.;The plot has a hot aspect and the slope is very steep. The soils are rather deep (40 cm) and acidic.
Representativeness	Small patch acid shale forest. Another varient on the oak - hickory community. The oak is dominated by Quercus prinus, the hickory by Carya glabra. This plot also has a pine component dominated by Pinus virginiana. Quercus stellata is found coming up. The
