Plot is on south-facing slope off of Appalachian Trail. Area has scattered sections of Basic Oak- Hickory Forest - intermixed with more disturbed (viney) sections. This section has a nice stand of older oaks and hickories with high herb cover. Much of the herb cover is dominated by garlic mustard. That is typical throughout the forest type extent.
