Landscape Narrative	Bounded by a slow moving stream with Hypericum community on opposite bank to the north east. To the west, bounded by Hemlock - Spruce - Yellow Birch forest with ferns. Dense band of Rhododendron maximum between the open wetland and the forest. Old beaver dam to the south.;Early successional herbaceous community after beaver dam break with occasional continued flooding from incised, slow moving E5 streams. Old snags present. Plot is located above an old beaver dam. Relatively undisturbed, no external fragmentation. Lower linear drainages cut across plot. The drainages are about 20 cm below the surface and Sphagnum filled.
