Observation Narrative
Plot location: 0.86 km E of the summit of Halls Point.
Rock Types Present: abundant metabasalt bouldery colluvium and debris.
A boulder-filled slope concavity at the head of a ravine. The forest vegetation here is a fairly diverse mixed oak-hickory-tuliptree stand. The very rocky substrate probably inhibits herbaceous richness to some degree. This plot is located in an area that was selectively cut around 1990, but no trees were taken within the sampling site.
