Observation Narrative
Good representation of this assn., although it isn't one listed in matrix. It's clearly a different habitat type, as indicated by all of the OPLHOR, so probably should be included as an assn. haven't seen much of this in the south of the park, and in Go
Over 3 inches of dark humus above lighter brown soil, with some rock and bedrock below.
