Landscape Narrative	Protected Eidolon Nature Preserve surrounds this stand. Oak forests line the side slopes above.;Black Birch / Paw Paw forest with tilted trees on boulderfield ravine bottom. During high rainfall events, surface water moves litter between the boulders. No surface stream or channel appears in the ravine - probably most water moves under the rocks. Fire scars noted on some trees.
Representativeness	Plot was placed in moist ravine bottom to sample Black Birch forest.
