Landscape Narrative ? Very narrow point in the wetland where this stand nearly spans the valley floor (~70 m) and abruptly changes to dense shrubs immediately downstream.;Heavily inundate herbaceous wetland where Dulichium arundinaceum is the dominant vegetation with patches of Nuphar advena. There are some stumps in this stand which forms the hummocks. There is variation in the plot due to some areas without inundation to places of very deep water.
