Observation Narrative ? Plot location: wooded slope ca. 0.17 km east of Rt. 629 and 0.98 km ENE of Signal Knob Summit. Permanently marked with a metal tree tag. See form/report for sketch. Rock types present: phyllite (very micaceous) and quartzite debris. This plot documents a dryish, middle-slope mixed oak / oak-hickory forest. Most trees are medium-size but occasional oaks with diameters approaching 1.0 meter are scattered in the area. Although still one of the dominant understory trees, Cornus florida has been greatly reduced in recent years by the fungal pathogen dogwood anthracnose. Heavy herbivory by white-tailed deer has greatly reduced the stature of many herbs in this plot. The following plants from this plot were noticeably damaged by herbivory: Cornus florida, Eurybia divaricata, Symphyotrichum lateriflorum, Carex cephalophora, Carex laxiflora, Desmodium nudiflorum, Galium circaezans, and Polygonatum biflorum var. biflorum.
