Observation Narrative	Plot characterizes a xeric, oligotrophic, granitic outcrops at the crest of a south trending ridge. Soil organic layer is thick and poorly decomposed. Pinus pungens is otherwise extremely rare on Blue Ridge granitic terrain. Tree species in plot fail to reach 6 m in height, therefore the vegetation is assigned to oligotrophic scrub. Measured trees (dbh in cm.): Pinus pungens (32), Quercus montana (12.5).
