Observation Narrative
Plot location: Slope along S bank of the Appomattox River, 0.85 miles upstream from the mouth of Skipper's Creek.
Habitat is a steep, north-facing, somewhat bluff-like slope with areas of mineral soil exposed by natural sheet-erosive processes. Forest vegetation here is a mixed beech-oak forest with a sparse but surprisingly diverse herbaceous component. Canopy trees have some crown damage, presumably from a recent ice or wind storm.
