Observation Narrative ? Plot situated in a red spruce forest with considerable admixture of yellow birch. Considerable die back of both spruce and birch has occurred recently in and around the plot, apparently the result of atmospheric deposition. Plot located on western slope of Mount Rogers, just downslope of the Mount Rogers Trail from Grindstone Campground at a point ca. 0.35 mi NNE of its confluence with the Appalachian Trail near Deep Gap.
