Landscape Narrative	See plots USFS.261,260,262.;Plot is located 50 feet to the right of Tea Creek on terrace. Overstory is comprised of Betula alleghaniensis, Fagus grandifolia, and Acer saccharum. GPS was taken 64 feet , 348 degrees from plot center. Dense Rhododendron maximum cover 80%. Forbs were very sparse. Seedlings were abundant.
Representativeness	Plot data from USFS spreadsheets and shapefiles. Original files on disk and in Plotdata/USFS directory. Numerous taxonomic assumptions made, since taxonomic data consisted only of 4-letter USFS code. Two partial USFS translation sheets for these codes
