Plot location: 0.85 km SE of Enon Church.
Rock Types Present: abundant metabasalt boulders.
This plot is located in a small, bouldery stream bottom and supports typical forest vegetation for mesic, rocky sites in the Watery Mountains, with abundant Fraxinus americana, Ulmus rubra, and Asimina triloba - Lindera benzoin understory. Some very large trees are scattered through this ravine, including a Quercus rubra nearly 0.97m dbh in the plot.
