Observation Narrative
Plot is located in pond S105-11, where T. Rawinski sampled GRAF098-102 in 1995. This plot intersects and is perpendicular to the 1995 transect, and is located on the western edge of this large pond, where the canopy is still intact. The pond has extensive blow-down and tree mortality disturbance, much of it probably dating from Hurricane Isabel in 2003. Water marks on the trees range from 23 cm to 75 cm from the ground.
