Landscape Narrative	Surrounding the glade is deciduous forest with white oak, red maple, and red oak. Glade is next to road and is quite weedy, especially uphill out of plot/;Slanting bedrock exposure with islands of herb/non-vascular vegetation on soil accumulations on top of rock. Some of these islands are wet with sphagnum accumulations and others are drier. There are no trees except around the edges, and no cracks in the bedrock. Heavy rain yesterday. No standing water, but 1% today in cracks and holes in rock.
Representativeness	Plot is placed at lower end of glade to minimize weed cover and to include an island of sphagnum.
