Observation Narrative
Liriodendron/ mixed hardwoods on bluff above river. Plot is on a gentle, upper-slope convexity. Several very large red oaks occur in and near the plot. Herbs are moderately sparse. In contrast to adjacent parts of the stand, the area of the plot has very little Asimina triloba, while Acer rubrum saplings completely dominate the understory.
