Observation Narrative
Lots of ACEGLA & CRADOU in this chute, and very dense cover of shrubs. Upland to east of plot is PINCON/JUNCOM (see plot 201). Avalanche chutes in this area have similar composition.
Soil is very dark and silty. Not very gritty. Does have small rocks in it. Very hard to find soil because of small and large rocks on surface. Makes weak ribbon, less than 1 in.
