Observation Narrative	This stand is currently dominated by Quercus rubra (overstory), Ilex montana (shrub), and Dennstaedtia punctilobula (herb), but Acer saccharum var. saccharum is abundant in the understory and appears to be in position to assume overstory dominance in the long term. Acer saccharum seedlings, however, were not found (deer grazing?). Two small Abies balsamea trees are located approximately 40 m north of the plot. Plot location: on NE slope of Spitler Hill, ca. 0.15 mi. SE of Old Rag View Overlook.
