Landscape Narrative	Forest on outcrop sampled by MONF.399. Downslope are old openings.;Moderate west facing slope with platy rock and gravel substrate. Community is an open forest or woodland with larger - short knarled oaks with younger sugar maple over a tallshrub canopy dominated by hop hornbeam. Some dead oaks have fallen over forming sunny gaps with higher graminoid cover. Tree mortality may be from drought.
Representativeness	Open aspect of large patch oak - sugar maple woodland on limestone. May be phase of same association of MONF.399, but here it is drier, more acidic, with shorter, drought stressed canopy.
