Landscape Narrative ? About 100 m away is Gauley River access road for the Middle Gauley. A beach is upstream, well used. The Gauley River runs alongside the plot. Along the plot is an upland oak forest.;Alluvial sandstone boulder prairie with Betula nigra, Platanus occidentalis and Andropogon gerardii in the herb layer. Mostly open and alongside the Gauley River. There is evidence of human use here, trash. The area probably flooded frequently.
Representativeness ? Area of riparian prairie, previously sampled similar areas at Swiss and Peter's Creek. This differs from GARI.100 as it has more ANGE and no Diospyros. Also this plot has Platanus.
