Landscape Narrative	Tops of boulders have prairie species. Across river is a very steep slope down to a very narrow riparian zone with Osmunda regalis then upland forest. Uphill quickly grades to upland Oak - Hickory - Sug and / or Hemlock.;River channel eddy just above a riffle zone. Truck - size boulders protect a back pool which supports scattered clumps of water willow now growing in shallow water or saturated gravel / cobble / boulder interstires. Plot was under water 1 day after sampling on Gauley release day.
