Landscape Narrative	Away from drainage bottom plateau forest becomes dryer with higher oak and ericad dominance.;Low gradient stream bottom on sandstone plateau. Canopy includes dry site species such as Quercus prinus but is dominated by Liriodendron and understory has high component of Thelypteris noveboracensis and Asplenium felix femina which reflect mesic conditions along creek bottom. Plot is dissected by a small steram flowing at sampling date. There are several large, moss covered rocks in the plot.
