Plot does not exactly match original plot and is located about 0.25 mi W of plot and about 500 ft below plot. I was concerned about hiking 0.25 mi further and up 500 ft because the time was after 4 pm. Plot veg and composition described on front of datasheet. Plot was on a moderate slope. Thick conifer needle cover on floor. Lichen community very diverse and high abundance of most spp. On trees on hike to plot, the lichens (especially Plagla) were pink and dying. lobules. Substrate: log.
