Extensive conifer - deciduous forest signatures with few roads. Some recent logging on private land between here and highway. Deer stand nearby.;Rolling plateau with narrow flattopped ridges dissected by shallow ravines. Late early successional forest dominated by large tulip poplar and black oak with subcanopy dominated by hemlock. Shrubs and herbs are almost absent & there is a dramatic browseline on rhododendren outside of plot. Charcoal on soil, possible fire scar on large black oak.
Representativeness
Constrained by lack of plateau within park boundary. Areas on plateau with mixed conifer/deciduous signature - conifers are primarily T3 hemlock - some areas have less hemlock than plot. Some areas have more hickory. ELU 2130
