Landscape Narrative	To north is a younger stand with similar floristics, which is still remarkably low in weeds, but most recent wildlife openings nearby are dominated by Lonicera japonica and Rosa multiflora.;Dolomite outcrops on on lower slope shoulder just above floodplain. Forest with scattered large oaks and medium sized oaks, sugar maple, and ash in canopy over a lush herb layer with a showy display of larkspur and phlox at the sampling date. There are some weeds in plot but the flora is dominated by native herbs including many rich site indicators.
Representativeness	Plot includes large trees, rock outcrops, and a canopy gap. Chosen to maximize stand age and influence of geology. Represents spring flora before trees are leafed out completely - revisit needed to document summer species. Canopy cover estimated as leaf o
