Observation Narrative	A relatively young, but well developed red spruce forest on a rocky, north facing, high facing, high elevation slope. The plot has a phenomenally dense moss/liverwort ground cover which supports large herbaceous layer colonies of Dryopteris campyloptera and Oxalis montana. Plot located in red spruce forest on upper north slope of Whitetop Mountain, ca. 0.1 mi north of parking area on loop on Forest Service road below summit.
