Observation Narrative	Plot located up the stream valley from plot GPNF301 on convex, south-facing slope near large Quercus montana "wolf tree;" a small, shallow gully lies to the SE. Soils appear to be nutrient poor due to the convex slope shape. An unexpectedly large amount of surface mineral soil and granitic gravel occurred in the plot, possibly the result of loose soil consistence and frost churning. In much of the plot the duff is rather thick and poorly decomposed.
