Observation Narrative	Young floodplain forest along the Rivanna River, with rather mixed overstory of Platanus occidentalis, Liriodendron tulipifera, Celtis occidentalis, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, and Acer negundo. A rich herb layer is compromised by large populations of Stellaria media, Lonicera japonica, and other exotics. The forest probably regenerated following agricultural clearing of the floodplain decades ago. The site showed signs of recent flooding on 2011-04-20.
