Landscape Narrative	This community is bound to the south on a south aspect by chestnut oak-Virginia pine forest and surrounded by chestnut oak forest with dense heath cover to the north and west. This community appears to continue downslope some ways. There is a dirt road to the south.;This stand is almost a monoculture of chestnut oak with almost no herb cover and little heath cover. Some areas in this stand have almost no cover other than a canopy of chestnut oak. Browsing on Kalmia is evident and heavy in some places. Unsure why there is so little shrub cover here.
Representativeness	Very nutrient poor, dry chestnut oak forest with little understory cover. This is a very homogenous community and easily represented.
