Observation Narrative
This plot lies about 130 meters NE of plot CHUB014 on an elevated terrace that borders the slough. This habitat appears to be very well drained and rarely flooded, supporting a forest of mixed oaks, hickories, and even a few beech. It is uncertain why this stand was spared when so much of the adjacent forest was clear-cut just a few years ago.
