| Landscape Narrative |
Large, mostly unroaded USFS tract propsed for logging, burning, and roading., justified for bear management, although bear sign is currently abundant. On top of mountain is a red oak / heath community that is a different association from this plot. See JENF.13,14,15, 17 and 18 for more context.;Small bench on lower SE flank of mountain. Dry, acidic soils support a medium aged oak / heath forest. Canopy is strongly dominated by chestnut oak, but some large sourwood also reach canopy. There is a fairly dense heath shrub layer. Herb layer is sparse but includes abundant Galax in patches. Sour smell in air (from sourwood?).
