Observation Narrative
This plot is located ca. 1.0 km SE of WISP001 in the same flatwoods / upland depression complex. In this area, occasional large oaks occur in the depressions, which lie between formerly cleared and cut-over patches of flat upland. Composition of this sample is similar to that of WISP001 but contains more Quercus palustris and considerable oak regeneration in the shrub and herb layer.
