Observation Narrative ? Most of the bottomland on the north side of Three Creek at the Southampton Correctional Institute was clear-cut several decades ago, and now supports an even aged stand of largely coppice-sprouted hardwoods. However, a narrow strip of forest immediately bordering the creek was spared. This plot was placed within this strip in order to sample a more medium-aged stand with greater herb diversity. The forest is fairly typical of the winter-flooded terraces along southeastern Virginia's large creeks and rivers, with mixtures of hydrophytic oaks, Carya aquatica, Liquidambar styraciflua, Ulmus americana, Acer rubrum, and Fraxinus pensylvanica forming a variable stand. The herb layer in and around this sample is strongly dominated by Commelina virginica, but several sedges and grasses together exceed the cover of this forb.
