Observation Narrative	This plot documents an openly forested pond that is reported to have the longest hydroperiod of any pond at Piney Grove (B. Klontz, pers. comm.). The water marks on trees are at 30-40 cm above the ground. Moss and lichens are abundant on the tree trunks and on hummocks. The woodland is open and dominated by stunted, small-diameter Nyssa biflora with swollen bases. Thickets of shrubs with Smilax are scattered throughout the pond. Vaccinium spp. and other shrubs are rooted in old pine stumps, forming hummocks of vegetation. This wetland was logged over along with the adjacent pine forest within the past few decades.
