Observation Narrative	Plot is located in a large boulder and stone filled concavity between two greenstone cliffs. Trees here (mostly Fraxinus americana) are somewhat stunted by very shallow, rocky substrates and the vegetation approaches a woodland physiognomy. The NW aspect is unusual for this type of vegetation, most examples of which develop on south or SW facing slopes. Plot location: Shenandoah NP. In boulder-filled concavity on NW-facing slope 0.1 mi. west of Overall Run Falls.
