This plot is located near the river and is therefore subject to periodic flooding.;The T2 and T3 layers in this plot are almost indistinguishable. The T2 layer is dominated by Robinia psuedoacacia and Ulmus rubra. The T3 layer is made up of Prunus serotina and Ulmus rubra. The shrub layers are rather sparse with Rosa multiflora being the major component in both layers. The herbaceous layer is primarily Toxicodendron radicans and Duchesnia indica.
