Observation Narrative
This plot was located in a slight depression in a seasonally wet flatwoods. There are no water marks on the trees, but the area is clearly shallowly flooded (a few cm deep) at times. There is a large Quercus pagoda outside the plot area. The sample area is representative of most of the site and has good Quercus phellos recruitment.
