Landscape Narrative	Downslope is a mixed oal forest. Uplsope this community grades into a chestnut oak and pine forest.;This is one of the rock slides indicative of this area where because of its cool aspect favors mesic species while because of its substrate, favors vines (herbaceous and woody). There are widely spaced trees and huge gaps which are occupied by Vitis.
