Landscape Narrative	Microstegium forms dense mats in some parts of surrounding forest. This is within Cacapon State Park in an area away from trails and roads.;Oak- Hickory floodplain forest is in floodplain of small drainage - also receives toeslope seepage. State Park is heavily browsed by deer. No shrub layer. Herb layer is graminoid with some invasive stiltgrass. Sandstone colluvium is scattered through plot (geologic map shows this area as limestone). Large deadfall litters plot.
