Landscape Narrative	Upslope from the plot ca. 30m is a road, above that in what appears to be the larger expanse of the wind polygon is a meadow. Downslope the QuPr / KaLa forest continues at least to the edge of the polygon. The plot was placed on a large N - S running ridge which follows the WV - VA border.;Somewhat dry forest community dominated by Quercus prinus - Q. velutina with Kalmia latifolia. There is some exposed sandstone bedrock within the plot s well as smaller plate sized chunks. There is quite a bit of Pinus strobus within the S2 layer. Several of the S2 Chestnut Oaks are defoliated and dying.
