Observation Narrative
Plot location: Eastern edge of large tidal marsh, near old boardwalk at the end of Fort Belvoir Wildlife Refuge.
Plot is representative of the most diverse part of a fine, 200-acre fresh tidal marsh. Plot is located near the edge, in a relatively dry part of the marsh. In the wettest, semipermanently flooded areas, monotypic or mixed stands of Nuphar advena, Scirpus fluviatilis and/or Zizania aquatica dominate. Vegetation in the plot is extremely dense, with multiple layering of herbs.
