Landscape Narrative	Upslope is a mixed oak forest. Across the river is a patch of riverside prarie. Somewhat isolated stretch of class III - V river. Upstream is the community of Arden, downstream is the Tygart Lake.;Linear patch of a Pinus virginiana/Nyssa sylvatica river side woodland. The Nyssa has already began changing colors. The community appears to be flooded frequently with little litter accumulation. There is some flotsam hanging in the branches of the S1 shrubs. There is a possible population of Viola appalachiensis within the plot which should be revisited during its flowering time.
Representativeness	Small patch of river scoured Virginia pine woodland. Similar to plots sampled at NERI, GARI, and along the Greenbrier river. Here the community is in a very thin patch and it has a steeper slope. Plot was placed to sample the stand which is slightly sm
