Observation Narrative
Open areas between forests of ABILAS/MENFER are vegetated with this assn. In some places ALNVIR is heavier. Way more VACMEM in here than XERTEN, so I think it should be classified differently than the XERTEN/VACMEM assn. we've sampled before. Maybe not
Soil is rocky with mostly gravel-sized and small pieces. Rock is tan. Not easy to dig. Makes a weak ribbon under 1 in. Some red argillite present. Soil is very light tan in color when dry.
