Observation Narrative
The plot is on a toe slope near a mall stream bottom. On shaly, dissected bottoms such as this, white pine and hemlock grow well. In plot is the rare nodding pagonia (Triphora triantophera). Woody vegetation is quite dense in plot, making height and density estimates difficult. Measured trees (dbh in cm.): Pinus strobus (90.3), Liriodendron tulipifera (39.6).
