Landscape Narrative	This area is dominated by lots of Betula alleghaniensis and Rhododendron maximum. Meehania cordata, Carex plantaginea, and Cymophyllus fraserianus are characteristic herbaceous elements.;This area is very cool and moist because of its north facing aspect and because of the waterfall nearby.
Representativeness	This plot represents a cool north facing area characterized by an abundance of Betula alleghaniensis. This entire area in this draw down to Glade Creek is covered with Betula alleghaniensis and lots of Rhododendron maximum. This is also the same communi
