Observation Narrative	The habitat and vegetation of this plot are typical of the xeric and very open Pinus taeda / Hudsonia tomentosa Woodland that occupies the exceptionally high "great" dunes at Savage Neck (see also plot SAVA003P). Here, somewhat stabilized conditions on a local crest and under well-established pines support several typical dune herbs.
