Topographic Position	Upper slope
Landform	Mountain slope/hillslope
Surficial Deposits	sandstone
Rock Type	sandstone
Landscape Narrative	Isolated upper slope with very dry pine-oak forest above on ridge and steep shaley slopes below. Canopy gaps do seem a good spot for exotic species invasion, but this area seems isolated enough from roads and game plots.;Forest with sparse canopy and abundant oak-hickory regeneration. Although there are numerous gaps, successional and exotic species don't appear to be gaining a foot hold despite prominent pine cover above on ridge.
Representativeness	Dry oak-hickory forest with patchy succession. Plot captures most of the stand diversity as well as a few of the numerous canopy gaps.
