Landscape Narrative ? Fairly large mountain top spruce stand with 3 varients 1) this plot with evergreen shrubs, 2) plot MONF.284 with low shrub spruce and 3) spruce with heavy spruce regen in S1 layer (doghair hell).;Mountaintop spruce forest with tall shrub layer dominated by Rhododendron maximum and Kalmia latifolia. This patch has more structure compared to MONF.284 with greater diversity of size classes, canopy gaps and shrubs. There is a carpet of Bazzania trilobata which covers deep duff layers, rocks and old stumps.
