Observation Narrative	The southeastern portion of the extensive shale barren community at Johnsons Creek NAP is accessible from the ridgeline, which factor largely influenced the placement of a sample plot. Juniperus virginiana individuals > 100 yr old probably abound, and an intensive dendrochronological investigation is warranted. Species richness is unusually high, even for this characteristically diverse vegetation. Composition is heterogeneous, although few species attain > 1% cover.
