Landscape Narrative ? These tall herb communities are common on upper terraces along Upper Shavers Fork. Below bank in scoured channel shelf is a different herb community (see MONF.67 and MONF.69).;Alluvial floodplain terrace with deep sandy deposits dominated by tall herbs. Reason for open community on upper terrace is obscure - may be related to flooding, ice scour, or sediment deposition. Single hawthorn tree in plot is dying. In wet swales Scirpus becomes dominant.
Representativeness ? Narrow to wide zone on depositional terraces dominated by tall herbs. Questionable whether this is a natural type or a response to logging and hydrological alteration.
