Landscape Narrative	Further back from cliff edge are taller spruce over tall Mountain Laurel and Rhododendron, then grading towards a dwarfed Northern hardwoods woodland.;Shallow soils and duff accumulation on sandstone bedrock adjacent to bare pavement and cliff edge. Community is evergreen - deciduous heath shrubland. Deep crevice bisects plot, and trails which erode substrate to rock. Tree's appear stunted, with dead tops~site may be slow to succeed to forest (=edaphic shrubland).
