Observation Narrative
This stand is pretty visible on the aerial photo. Some scattered PSEMEN & PICENG are quite large, but most of the canopy is PINCON. We are still on limestone here. Stand age is about 140 yrs (PINCON).
Loamy sand. Soil is very grey with fine matrix and lots of gravel (red & green argillite). Does not make a ribbon. Also a good amount of small rock that is somewhat rounded.
