Observation Narrative	The forest in this plot is part of the same stand captured by plot TURK040. Soil chemistry data confirms that enhanced levels of Ca, Mg, and base saturation influence the composition of this stand, which extends discontinuously on the lower, east-facing slopes along Turkey Run. The plot has a mixed overstory of medium-sized to large Fagus grandifolia, Liriodendron tulipifera, Carya ovalis (outside plot), Fraxinus americana, and Juglans nigra, with Asimina triloba, young Fagus, and Ulmus rubra common in the understory. The herbaceous flora is moderately lush and contains dominance patches of Sanicula odorata, Phlox divaricata, Cardamine concatenata, Phegopteris hexagonoptera, Elymus hystrix, and the smooth-fruited variety of Viola pubescens.
