Landscape Narrative	Rimrock and gorge slope cliffs in a deep gorge cut by a high energy river. Cliff tops often have narrow zones of conifer dominated forest. Below the cliffs are mostly deciduous forests. This area is one of the most popular climbing areas in West Virginia.;Sandstone cliff face above a deep gorge cut by the New River.
Representativeness	Plot data compiled from transects sampled by Pete Clark (WVU Geography MS student). Transects are 2 m wide and run down the cliff face and are subsampled by 2-5 1m2 quadrants. Species abundance for vascular plants was recorded in the field as # plants pe
