Observation Narrative	A dry, old growth mesotrophic Quercus montana dominated forest on a steep, west facing plane slope. The topography suggests a bedrock geological transition. The shallow duff layer, soil texture and presence of plants such as Cunila origanoides, Sedum glaucophyllum and Monarda clinopodia suggest the influence of shale. Though the oldest trees are about 200 years old, they have relatively small diameters, indicating dry conditions. As on many of the steeper slopes at higher elevations (i.e., more exposed) with somewhat fertile, but hard, stony soils, the surviving largest trees are not closely spaced and the open canopy results in a dense deciduous shrub layer and abundant Vitis aestivalis var. bicolor. Plot located on steep slope between bench below and moderate slope above, ca. 330 ft downslope @ 275 degrees from plot GJNF311, 2.0 mi N2W from Morning Knob.
