Observation Narrative ? This site is a slightly elevated "island" within a large swamp complex along the Chickahominy River. It supports a mesic hardwood forest dominated by medium- to large-diameter Fagus grandifolia, along with some oaks (Quercus michauxii in the plot), Liriodendron tulipifera, and Nyssa sylvatica. In its environmental setting and composition that includes Q. michauxii, Symplocos tinctoria, and Clethra alnifolia, this stand is reminiscent of swamp "island" forests in the Dismal Swamp and elsewhere in far southeastern Virginia.
