Observation Narrative	Very dry forest with consistently small (20cm) diameter trees on upper slope. South facing. Some exposed sandstone boulders and very rocky close to the surface. Lots of Sassafras albidum saplings, ground cover dominated by Desmodium nudiflorum. Directions to plot: Take Ridge Trail SW from Gibson Gap, approx. 1.0mi. Plot contains a white oak with a double trunk - several Q. velutina also characterize site. Plot moved into VA form original pre-selected point. Tagged tree is a Quercus alba of 51 cm dbh with tag #153. Conduit is at a bearing of 140 degrees and 5m from tree.
