| Landscape Narrative |
Hiking uphill on trail, the forest grades to red spruce-hemlock, then hemlock drops out. Downhill are northern hardwoods, including acidic and rich types.;High elevation west flank of mountain. Acidic geology. Community is a mixed evergreen-deciduous forest dominated by hemlock and red maple. Beech and birches (yellow, black) are scattered in stand - also red spruce. Hemlock occurs as tree and tall shrub, but there is little understory regeneration and little herb cover, due to browsing and heavy shade. Heavy litter and duff. Rocky, organic rich soil in sandstone colluvium.
