The plot is located within one of the only deciduous dominated forest patches on Koontz bend. Much of the flat is covered with TSCA-PIVI or TSCA/RHMA. See the other plots from Koontz Bend. There is a well travelled gravel road which dissects the polygon.;Open successional forest community dominated by tulip poplar. The forest floor is densely covered with Lycopodium digitatum. There is a small intermittent drainage following the NE edge of the plot. Several large rock piles within the plot possilby a sign of this being an old agricultural field.
Representativeness
Small patch of a successional tulip poplar forest. The plot was placed to sample ELU 1133. The upper side of the ELU seems to be more evergreen with TSCA. I believe our plot may be in a thin zone between 2 ELU polygons.
