Landscape Narrative	Grades to Tsuga canadensis forest in concave aspects to north and south. Virginia pine woodlands with stunted trees occur along rimrock on shallow soils (likely more persistent than this successional community).;Plateau sholder above zone of exfoliated boulders. Evenly spaced even aged forest of Pinus virginiana with abundant Rhododendron maximum and Tsuga canadensis in understory. Likely succession towards Tsuga dominance. Large population of Cypripedium acaule in plot.
Representativeness	Large small patch of successional pine forest in more mesic than average position for pine dominance. To north the stand becomes even more mesic with taller, greater dbh trees. This is one of the larger stands of Virginia pine seen at NERI.
