Observation Narrative	This is a classic southwest-facing limestone glade, undercut by Walker Creek below. No evidence of fire, although a few large dead Pinus strobus snags occur on the slope. The glade abuts the crest of a narrow spur ridge. Consequently there is minimal lateral drainage of water and nutrients which ensures xeric, somewhat oligotrophic conditions. Plot lies ca. 3 m downslope of crest of spur ridge. Quercus muhlenbergii in plot measured @ 20.8 cm; scarcely 5 m tall and gnarled.
