Observation Narrative
Plot location: ca. 0.8 miles SE of Land of Promise; poorly drained flatwoods on west side of state natural area access road, 0.4 miles east of its junction with Blackwater Road. Plot center marked with a 1" white PVC pipe.
Very slight horizontal concave/ slight hummock and hollow microtopography.
A young, relatively recently logged stand of mixed hardwoods on a poorly drained, non-riverine terrace. Liquidambar styraciflua is currently the most abundant canopy species, but several oaks are prominent in the subcanopy layers. Arundinaria gigantea ssp tecta is an abundant shrubby graminoid throughout the flatwoods area at this site.
