Landscape Narrative	See GARI.176 for predominantly dry cliff. Adjacent forest at bottom of cliff is hemlock - oak - sassafras / rhododendron.;Moist cliff face which comprises a small area of an extensive dry cliff band. Moisture status on this generally south aspect is controlled by rock angle with dry areas forming under overhangs and moist areas associated with ledges. Vegetation is dominated by macrolichens and mosses combined with crustose lichens and woody vegetation on ledges. Dripping after small shower.
Representativeness	Cliff face and ledges but not including vegetation of base or overhanging from top. Small patch sampled as contrast to dry cliff face.
