Observation Narrative
Diverse, extensive freshwater marsh with some characteristic oligohaline elements such as Kosteletzkya virginica and Typha angustifolia. Several saplings of Fraxinus profunda are scattered outside plot. A number of species have already senesced (Schoenoplectus novae-angliae, Mikania scandens, Polygonum punctatum), so cover estimates may be low.
0 - 1 - partially decomposed organic matter
1 - 30 - medium to dark brown, mucky clay, abounding in fine roots
