Landscape Narrative	Similar community with Shumard oak (pin oak?) was sampled across Shenandoah River (plot 21), but this species was not seen along Potomac River.;Floodplain forest dominated by large oaks of 3 spp. with dense shrub understory. Plot is out of slough but on lower terrace subject to intermittant flooding. Oak dominance may be indication of community maturity since edaphic differences from sycamore community are not apparent. Oak dominance may also be due to calcareous alluvium since plot is downstream from the "Great Limestone Valley."
Representativeness	Represents small patches of oak dominance imbedded in matrix floodplain community dominated by sycamore.
