Observation Narrative
An entirely herbaceous grassland maintained by frequent incendiary fires from military training activities. This community type occurs in extensive patch mosaics with savanna like and somewhat, closed woodlands throughout that portion of the Quantico Impact Area from Range 8 to 15. This area has a long history of frequent burning and the pyrophytic vegetation may resemble or approximate piedmont savannas of the pre-settlement landscape.
Low slope ca. 0.25 mi northeast of firing positions at Range 8, Quantico Marine Base Impact Area.
