Observation Narrative
Beetle kill is extensive in this area. Last plot (#225) was different slope and aspect than this plot, and species composition is very different. Lots more XERTEN here. Classifying this as a woodland since it's currently more open that a typical forest
Sandy clay loam. Soil is very gravelly with 30-50% red/green argillite. Stones are quite rounded. Even with high gravel and small rock content the soil makes a 1 in ribbon.
