Landscape Narrative	Upstream in this position are riverscoured woodlands. 1) Betula nigra/Andropogon gerardii on sandy cobble 2) Platanus occidentalis/Rosa multiflora-Polygonum cuspidatum--garbage on boulder 3) upstream of Peter's creek are nicer Betula nigra/Chasmanthium latifolia, Justicia bed upstream from plot ca. 40 m;Riverscoured boulder/cobble bar along short riffle zone between two short pools. Community has most open physiognomy of vegetated riparian zones along the Gauley. Vegetation is a prairie dominated by Andropogon gerardii over topping rugged cushion forming perennial forbs including Packera pauperculus, Solidago simplex and Dracocephalum viginiana. There are scattered short shrub sized trees (Betula nigra, Diospyros) and a single tall shrub sized Platanus.
Representativeness	Plot covers half of a small patch of riverscour prairie. Vegetation has probably been hit by floods this summer so phenology may be delayed and diversity reduced.
