Observation Narrative ? This ~ 17 hectare stand is in a slough formed in an old oxbow of the Nottoway River. The sample captures a seasonally flooded forest of relatively even-aged (i.e. sized) Nyssa aquatica with a few Taxodium distichum. The plot location is near a road that crosses the slough. The road crossing has a culvert. The adjacent upland has been clearcut and burned recently. There is some standing water on the survey date and water is just below the soil surface. There is much flood debris on the ground and many fallen trees.
