Observation Narrative
Plot is located in a shallow, dry swale behind the beach-fronting foredune sampled in FINR004. The vegetation is a mosaic of prevalent, dense thickets of Myrica pensylvanica and smaller herbaceous openings. This vegetation type is very extensive on portions of Fisherman's Island just inland from the beach and foredunes.
