Landscape Narrative	Upland forest to north is hemlock-northern hardwoods. Adjacent to the plot away from the stream is an herb community dominated by Leersia and Scirpus with a small patch of Typha. Above the herb communities are hummocks with Vaccinium myrtilloides and Rubus hispidus.;Narrow zone on stream terrace along a small stream flowing at the sample date. Salix seems concentrated on mini-levees along seepage streams.
Representativeness	Plot covers most of a small patch of tall Salix shrubland, with other smaller patches scattered in fingers off the main Canaan Valley wetland. This plot is wetter and possibly younger than the previous plot (CVWR.28).
