Landscape Narrative	Vegetation outside plot quickly grades to oak-white pine / ericad with Pieris floribunda. Floodplain has white pine over weedy understory (autumn olive, Japanese stilt grass). Planted or successional white pine dominate gentle lower slopes.;Steep, west facing slope above a broad floodplain with braided channel. Soil is silt loam and shale fragments are mixed with larger sandstone plates. Very small patch of open woodland with Virginia pine, supports a few shale barren endemics. There is a large white pine in plot. Ground cover by mosses is higher than other shale barrens observed.
Representativeness	Plot is smaller than usual to stay within a small shale barren opening which hosts a population of Arabis serotina.
