All the plants found in this habitat go through periods of drought during the growing season due to the limited litter/soil layer in which moisture can be held. Elevation: 405 to 430 meters. Slope: 5 to 25 percent. Aspect: various. Geology: The underlying geology of this area is of Silurian origin and comprised of Shawangunk Formation. This formation is primarily light- to dark-gray, fine- to very coarse-grained sandstone and conglomerate containing thin shale interbeds. (Source: USGS Pennsylvania Geologic Map Data). Soils: The surface soil profile of this area is characterized as the Hazleton Series which consists of deep and very deep, well drained soils formed in residuum of acid gray, brown or red sandstone on uplands. The matrix includes a considerable accumulation of thin, flat, coarse fragments of sandstone, limestone, or schist with diameters up to 15 cm. Slope ranges from 0-80%. Permeability is moderately rapid to rapid. (Source: USDA-NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions). EPA Ecoregion (Level III): Ridge and Valley (67).

The primary soil types in the collection area are classified as Manor loam, 25 to 35 percent slopes, very stony. The soils in the collecting area originated as residuum, weathered from the micaceous schist exposed geology and are generally considered coarse-loamy, micaceous, mesic typic dystrudepts that are very acidic and well-drained. There is a variable depth of soil depending upon the steepness of slopes. Some areas contain significant exposed Peters Creek Schist overlain by a highly decomposed organic mat intermingled with a dense root mat of woody and herbaceous plants.
