Observation Narrative	This plot is located at the back edge of an exposed, irregularly sloping greenstone outcrop near the summit of Loft Mountain. A mat of thin organic-rich soil supports most of the shrubs, which cover approximately 45% of the plot. Herbs occur in gravelly crevices and under the shrubs. Despite some damage from trampling, much of the vegetation is intact owing to its position at the rear of the outcrop.
