Observation Narrative
Plot location: Off McCarty Loop Trail, shrubby marsh community in Accotink Bay.
See plot form for sketch of plot location.
This plot represents the band of shrub marsh that exists between the uplands and the open marshes. Channels meander through the plot. As this community nears the open marshes, Salix caroliniana, Scirpus fluviatilis, and Cephalanthus occidentalis increase and Alnus serrulata and Ilex decidua decrease (see plot FBMR038).
