There is an old logging road (less than 10 years) located in the bottom edge of the plot. Also the main road which loops through the N. end of the Briery tract is located 10+ meters above the plot. Overall diversity of the site is low. Herbaceous layer contains mostly woody species. Even so, the forest floor is rather sparse.
Representativeness
This plot represents a dry oak site with Quercus prinus and Q. coccinea being the predominant T2 representatives. Few plants are found in the herbaceous layer. Howeever, there is a fairly large S2 component.
