Landscape Narrative	Towards mouth of backwater (plot NERI.228) is less Scirpus pungens. Further up backwater is a Platanus-Betula nigra woodland which is probably only flooded in high flood events when backwater becomes a forward flowing channel.;Backwater slough with large cobble/boulder substrate with sand becoming stabilized by Justicia patches on higher terracettes, and meandering lower micro channels dominated by Scirpus pungens.
