Landscape Narrative	See plots USFS.339,340,343,344,345. High ridge and back slope with mixed oak pine communities shrub/ herb layer densities vary with openings in forest canopy. Some microsites contain white pine and red spruce. Cliff areas contain mosses and Paronychia argyrocoma.;High slope on east side of ridge. Canopy is Quercus prinus. Lots of Gypsy moth blighted oaks. Dense grass and herb layers. Calamagrostis is the primary grass.
