Observation Narrative
The vegetation in this plot is characteristic of the more natural, fire influenced communities in which Rhus michauxii thrives in Virginia. The habitat is a somewhat closed canopy woodland which burned during winter of 1993-94. Plot location is identical to that of plot #6 from this site completed during the DNH inventory on 1993-09-07. Because of dramatic, fire induced changes in surface substrate, shrub and herbaceous cover, all data was recollected.
