Observation Narrative	Plot located near crest of cliff of the northern summit. Vegetation is sparse on this rock outcrop habitat. Downslope from the plot, where soils have developed, the dominant is Schizachyrium scoparium. The plot is undoubtedly exposed to severe winds. The Paronychia argyrocoma plants in the plot effectively trap soil material and thereby produce low (<10 cm.) hummocks.
