Observation Narrative	This plot is similar to RNBP013 but the habitat seems to be less wet, with a shorter hydroperiod. The forest here also appears younger, with a canopy consisting mostly of Acer rubrum and Liquidambar styraciflua with a few Quercus palustris also present. Nyssa biflora is fairly common in the understory, along with young Acer and Liquidambar recruitment. Saururus cernuus, while still attaining the highest cover among herbs, shares dominance with several hydrophytic sedges (Carex tribuloides, C. lupulina, C. louisianica, C. seorsa, C. crinita, C. joorii).
