Observation Narrative	Andropogon gerardii-Sorghastrum nutans-Euphorbia corollata cobble grassland; In the Critical Habitats and Associated Communities report for the Riparian Zone of the Gauley River, this community is classified as both herbaceous cobble grassland and woodland. According to the data collected, it is more representative of the former, but does have species representative of the latter.
