Observation Narrative	A linear plot configuration was employed to sample this saturated, interdune swale behing a broad accreting foredune at Savage Neck. This habitat has recently become forested with an even-age stand of small-diameter (mostly 15-25 cm) Pinus taeda and a few Liquidambar styraciflua. Shrubs and herbs are rather sparse, but are represented by a number of species common in saturated palustrine wetlands. These kinds of estuarine-fringing wet pine forests are rather rare, and possibly somewhat ephemeral.
