Lindsay MM and Bratton SP. 1979. The Vegetation of Grassy Balds and other High Elevation Disturbed Areas in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club. 106(4):264 - 275
Sampling plots on Andrews and Gregory Balds were established and the species within them identified and listed. One conclusion was that burned areas and balds had significant differences. Another was that absence of human influence (stock raising) since the advent of the Park has permitted invading species from the forest to close in the balds.
