Observation Narrative
Directions to plot: Adjacent to Keaton's Run, N of Rt. 20
Slope forest just above creek. Stand around sample is mostly Quercus alba and Tulip Poplar. No Fagus in vicinity although some slope areas have high base status indicators such as Juglans nigra, Fraxinus americana, abundant Cercis canadensis, Muhlenbergia ten. - this sample is not as rich but more representative of entire slope. Betula lenta is an interesting component.
