Landscape Narrative ? Plot is about 200 m from railroad. Gauley River is about 30 m NE. Plot is off park boundary, but was placed to sample floodplain. About 30 m east is a small vernal pool.;Plot is about 200 m from railroad--noise. Forest is breezy, but on east facing near river bank. Trash in plot from flood, possibly humans. The plot is dissected with overflow channels from Laurel Creek. Probably from when the water gets backed up by the river. There are narrow herbaceous highs and sandy lows, but the overstory remains constant. Should revisit later in the season if time permits.
