Observation Narrative
Plot location: Between Accotink Bay Wetlands and McCarty Loop Trail.
Hummock and hollow microtopography.
See plot form for sketch of plot location.
This plot is situated between 2 seepier areas with much higher graminoid/shrub cover. In this plot, thick leaf cover excludes significant herbaceous cover. The plot is now dry and also was on the May reconnaissance visit. Trunks are buttressed and watermarks are 1 foot up from the ground. On the January 2000 visit to mark the plot, the depression was filled with water.
Permanently marked plot.
