Landscape Narrative	Downslope of the plot is a large parking lot. Beyond that is the lake. Upslope ca. 50m and the forest transitions to Oak - Hickory - Sugar Maple.;Open forest dominated by White Oak. The forest has been heavily deer browsed. The plot lies along the boundary of a no hunting zone around the lake. The forest has a very nice over story but lacks regeneration in the S1 & S2 layers, likely due to deer.
Representativeness	Plot was placed to sample a sterile Oak- Hickory forest located in the western allegheny plateau region of WV.
