Landscape Narrative	Successional floodplain forests are located on the larger disturbed terraces in the study area. This community covers the flat area between the trail and river. There is a woodland located on a lower terrace community along river.;The soils are deep and appear to be at least for part of the year saturated. The woodland floor undulates with small highs and lows. The lower areas where it appears water puddles are bare of leaf litter.
Representativeness	Small patch community. Older terrace woodland. Dominated by Liriodendron tulipifera. This plot is similar to BLUE.52 but the trees are larger and the area looks less prone to flooding.
