Landscape Narrative ? See USFS plot 338 and HEW plots MONF.127,128,129 and FRAN.6,7,8,9,10,11. The transect bearing is 225 degrees. Chains 1-8 passes through a dense Picea rubens / Kalmia latifolia forest. At chain 9 the transect enters the "bog" . The transect leaves the open bog area at chain 16-20 and passes through a Picea rubens samp woodland. At chain 21 the transect re-enters the open bog community until ch 30. The transect contrinues through a Pice rubens woodland from chain 31-66. Entered a boggy opening at chain 67-99. From chains 100-117 the community is a marshy meadow dominated by graminoids. The last 15 chains follows a small stream draining the bog.;This plot is located in a semi-dry meadow within a Picea rubens / heath Woodland. The principal plants are grasses Danthonia compressa, Deschampsia flexuosa, Carex debilis var rudgei, and Agrostis perennans. Dense coverage of Rubus hispidus. The shrubs consist of Vaccinium angustifolium, Photina melanocarpa.
Representativeness ? USFS plots were placed at random points along a transect. This transect is 133 chains long. The plot was located in a small shrubby opening surrounded by a dense Picea rubens woodland.
