Landscape Narrative ? This part of property has successional forests, shrublands, and fields.;Flat terrace about 20m from small stream. Position may flood occassionally but it is unlikely that forest composition reflects flood disturbance regime. Area was probably cleared for agriculture then sycamore came in on abandoned farm land. Vegetation is an open canopy forest dominated by abundant medium-size sycamore with shorter box-elder with dead tops. Understory has abundant exotic shrubs and herbs.
Representativeness ? Small patch of succesional sycamore forest, this patch may occassionally flood but others at NCTC are never flooded. Early spring sample. Revisted by Vanderhorst on July 26, 2011 to update herb cover.
