Landscape Narrative	This bottomland hardwood forest community is dominated by Acer negundo and Acer saccharinum with Carex grayi, Boehmeria cylindrica, and Microstegium vimineum in the herb layer. Closer to the river the canopy species change to Platanus occidentalis and Betula nigra.;This plot is in a bottomland hardwood forest area and is effected by flooding of the New River. This is evidenced by the woody debris throughout the area.
Representativeness	This plot represents a bottomland hardwood forest community dominated by Acer negundo and Acer saccharinum. The herbaceous layer was dominated by Carex grayi (*a county record for Raleigh County, WV). This area is similar to a bottomland hardwood area a
