Public Description (default): General Description:This is just outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, on the other side of White Oak Mountain from Cataloochee Creek. Private land. Habitat Description: Cove forest of varying age. Some open fields kept clear. Some regenerating forests, maybe 10-20 years old. Eastern white pine plantation, maybe 20 years old. Older hardwood forests, anywhere from 30 to 100 years old. Few remnants of forest that were never cleared perhaps are hidden in various ravines. Slopes above the cove vary from almost south-facing and fairly dry, to north facing and enclosed in narrow gullies and essentially remain wet year-round. Interesting Species: Particularly abundant are: Unusual species include: All but two of Peltigera reported for Great Smoky Mountains National Park occur here: (P. evansiana and P. rufescens are absent) It’s a good place to study the difference between Myelochroa galbina and Hypotrachyna livida, as both species co-occur here and are roughly equally abundant.
