Observation Narrative	The plot is representative of wetter habitats in this extensive meadow along the South River. Seasonal flooding is prolonged in these low concavities, promoting dominance by Cephalanthus occidentalis, Carex stricta and Polygonum amphibium var. emersum. Phalaris arundinacea is a massive invader of these habitats throughout the site; the plot was positioned to capture an area where Phalaris was less problematic and dominant than usual. Plot located ca. 40 m west of Kennedy Creek at a point 0.2 mi SSE of its confluence with South River.
