Observation Narrative
Plot placed on a rather large sand bar between the main channel of the Rappahannock River and a large oxbow, just downstream from the Kellys Ford bridge. Low-statured annuals dominate the vegetation, although one perennial grass (Leersia oryzoides) is also abundant. The habitat is inundated for extended periods during high river flows but appears to be exposed during the late summer in most years, based on observations by the first surveyor.
