Observation Narrative
This is an unusual dolomite glade due to its northwestern aspect and prevalence of nutrient-demanding plants. Soils appear to be seasonally moist. A larger but much less diverse submesotrophic woodland lies just to the north. This plot is therefore not representative of the prevalent woodland vegetation at the site. Cover values estimated as if shrubs had full complement of leaves.
