Observation Narrative
This relatively dry interdune swale is located behind a high foredune only about 80 meters from the beach. Its vegetation is similar to that of plot FCSP032, which is similarly dry but located much farther from oceanic influences. Andropogon perangustatus and Euthamia caroliniana co-dominate the mostly herbaceous stand, which has a few small Pinus taeda and considerable patches of Toxicodendron radicans in places.
