Observation Narrative
Plot in a fertile cove on dolomite bedrock. On the sampling date the herb layer was very sparse, but I suspect an abundance of spring ephemerals occur here in the spring. Trees appear to be fast growing on this site. Outcrops confirm underlying dolomite. Measured trees (dbh in cm.): Liriodendron tulipifera (54), Acer saccharum (46.9).
