Observation Narrative
Not entirely sure that the 5-needle pine here is PINFLE. Could be PINALB, but based on environmental conditions here it's probably PINFLE. No cones to inspect. Tree looks pretty sick so probably hasn't produced cones for awhile. This assn. forms a ban
Most of rock present is likely limestone, including bedrock. Picked up rock to test. Soil not well developed. Very gravelly. Argillite also present (>40% rock).

Many dead trees. Not sure about cause of mortality. Could be exposure. This area gets very windy and cold. PINFLE could be affected by blister rust.
