Observation Narrative ? Directions to plot and tree tag: 1 miles south on Parkway from Quarry Overlook. Find ravine on R side of road. Up slope 80degrees, 30m to flagged, tagged tree at spine of ridge. Tagged tree is a Quercus montana of 30cm dbh with tag# 472. Conduit is at a bearing of 242 degrees and 3.5m from tree. Plot location was selected by DNH Ecologists in the field in an effort to capture shale woodland vegetation. Steep, shalely slope with pine on steepest parts grading to Quercus montana- Quercus rubra dominant on upper slope-ericad dominant on upper slope with open area on steepest parts-loose shale on eroding road cut. Mixed pine with stunted Quercus montana and Quercus rubra- Carya glabra in subcanopy.
