Observation Narrative
Plot located in a classic ultramafic seepage wetland; long axis of plot runs parallel to this narrow, open wetland. Pinus strobus are scattered and stunted due to harsh edaphic conditions. The transition between grassy wetland vegetation and adjacent forest is very abrupt. Several vernal species may have gone undetected at this late sampling date.
