Observation Narrative
Flowering dogwoods have been severely damaged by the anthracnose. Evidently, this is a water shedding, somewhat convex slope which has rather nutrient poor soils and oak-ericad forest vegetation. Several sub-mesotrophic indicators are present, suggesting some degree of colluvial enrichment.
