In nearby areas this pattern is reversed with oak dominance and white pine underneath. In such areas the forest is quite young. The plot is in a bottom approx 150m across between two hills. A small stream flows nearby. There is a canopy gap in the SW corner of the plot where many of the herbs are growing in the increased sunlight.
