Observation Narrative
Relatively fertile soils derived from carbonate rock and many microhabitats associated with rocky substrates and slopes yielded a very rich flora. Many of the plant species may be regarded as mesophytes, i.e. plants that growing under medium conditions. More fertile and less fertile sites generally support fewer plants species. Measured trees (dbh in cm.): Quercus rubra (44), Liriodendron (35.2).
