Observation Narrative	A mesotrophic woodland on a dry, rocky narrow ridge crest. Exposed position promotes windthrow and ice damage, creating frequent canopy openings and a well developed shrub layer. The absence of pines and heaths, coupled with the occurrence of mesotrophic indicators and high soil pH and Ca and Mg values, strongly suggests a base rich bedrock here. Plot located ca. 2200 ft southwest of Thomas Spring, on crest of narrow red-rock spine just east of large Quercus montana.
