Observation Narrative
Plot on a very dry metasandstone slope and containing considerable bedrock outcrops. With the reduction of the pine canopy, the annual Erechtites has become established. Also present are seedlings of Liriodendron and Ailanthus which probably won't survive the hot, dry conditions here. Quercus montana in plot, 32.2 cm dbh.
