Observation Narrative
Plot located on a convex spur of Elbrook dolomite near the crest of a cliff like slope, ca. 50 m upslope from plot PEDL103. Plot extends downslope from the slope crest along rocky spur. This rock disintegrates readily and therefore the ground is mostly gravel sized material. Bedrock outcrops support Arenaria stricta. This plot provides an interesting contrast with plot PEDL103 (i.e., the influence of substrate/soil on composition).
