Environment Fields:
Elevation	272 m
Slope Aspect	0 º
Slope Gradient	3 º
Topographic Position	Step in slope
Landform	ridge
Representativeness	Tree species do not change dramatically moving downslope in this polygon, however the uppermost part of this area is an unnavigable boulderfield, above a small wet area associated with a drainage, then the step in slope with ericads where the plot is take
Soil Drainage	well drained

Overall Plot Vegetation Fields:
--no data--
Misc Fields:
Observation Narrative	Vaccinium and Gaylussacia cover is >40% in plot but the ericads are only found in this step in slope, not in the rest of the polygon (8a for step in slope, 8 for polygon, 0 for boulderfields?)
