Observation Narrative	This vegetation occurs at the base of a cliff within the splash zone of a small cascade. Wet conditions prevail and bedrock is steep (hazardous to explore). Because of high elevation, northern exposure and constant seepage, cool microclimate conditions prevail. Early successional habitats are maintained by accelerated mass wasting processes and winter ice. Plants indicative of wetland conditions here include Calamagrostis canadensis, Chelone glabra and the very rare Conioselinum chinense.
