Observation Narrative ? Plot is located on an ancient floodplain terrace of the Nottoway River. The site is elevated a meter or more above a swale-lined frequently inundated terrace and shows no evidence of flooding. However, it is likely inundated briefly in very large flood events. The plot was sampled before full leaf-out and cover of trees and shrubs were estimated as if they had full foliage. The vegetation contains a somewhat unusual mix of medium-age, Coastal Plain oaks and hickories. The herb layer is dominated by sedges.
