Observation Narrative ? This plot captures the forest occurring in an elongate, several-acre depression between two elevated sand "ridges". The forest is floristically depauperate and dominated by Nyssa biflora. Water marks on the trees are at about 15 cm, indicating prolonged shallow flooding. Shrubs occur mostly on the edges of the depression and consist mostly of deciduous heaths (Vaccinium fuscatum, Leucothoe racemosa). Carex joorii is the only herb attaining > 1% cover. The rare shrub Litsea aestivalis is a notable member of the community.
