Landscape Narrative	Adjacent hollows have more mesic oak forests and grade to tulip poplar with wood nettle. Downslope just below cliff band quickly turns to mixed mesophytic forest on shale soils.;Ridge spur with oak-ericad forest. Big (103 cm dbh) red oak just outside plot also more below plot on rocks. Pole size trees dominate in plot. Fire scar on wood. Single Catawba rhododendron in plot with possible browswline.
