Plot ID Fields:
Author Plot Code	DEWA.205
Author Observation Code	DEWA.205.2004
Original Data Location	This observation was uploaded from NatureServe's Ecological Observations Database (EcoObs), version 13 June 2016. Some data values may be midpoints of EcoObs classes (e.g. stratum height, slope, aspect).
Location Fields:	MAP: Google | Yahoo | TopoZone | MapQuest
Confidentiality Status	10 km radius (nearest 0.1 degree)
Latitude	41.1 º
Longitude	-75 º
State or Province	Pennsylvania
Country	United States
Named Places	area|country|territory: United States region|state|province: Pennsylvania
Layout Fields:
Shape	Square
Area	100 m²
Permanence	not permanent
Environment Fields:
Elevation	446 m
Slope Aspect	315 º
Slope Gradient	3 º
Topographic Position	High level
Landform	ridge
Representativeness	The plot is representative of burned barrens. The area is extensive but from what I have seen (only a fraction), it appears to be similar to plot composition, but with varying density of species. Density ranges from that within the plot to thick Populus
Soil Drainage	well drained
Percent Bedrock	0 %
Percent Wood	5 %
Percent Litter	70 %
Percent Bare Soil	5 %
Percent Water	0 %
Methods Fields:
Observation Start Date	08-Jun-2004

Stratum Method	National Park Service
Plot Quality Fields:
Plot Validation Level	(2) classification plot: sufficient for inclusion in a classification revision
Overall Plot Vegetation Fields:
--no data--
Misc Fields:
Observation Narrative	This community type should get a special designation for barrens. The community has extremely dense short shrubs with layers of ericads and other volatile shrubs. Ideal fuel.
