Landscape Narrative	Downstream is Acer rubrum forest. Upstream is more marsh with Acer rubrum/Betula forest.;Floodplain of Potatohole Fork where unnamed branch merges. Marshy area with significant microtopography. Almost 100% herbaceous cover with Solidago dominating. One Acer rubrum tree and a few Ilex montana. Revisit 8/30/2005: Plot appears to be centered on a small clump of trees/shrubs surrounded by an herbaceous floodplain (or at least includes this clump). Revisit coverages will depend on precise plot layout.
