Landscape Narrative	Creek bottom community varies between low herb cover in rocky areas like this plot and other areas with less rock with more cover by Thelypteris noveboracensis. Side drainages without channelized flow are more seepy with some wetland indicators and dense Thelypteris (such as draw just back from plateau edge between this plot and NERI.253.;Slope bottom on plateau next to small (but channelized) creek. Very rocky soil and large rocks exposed. Rotted sawn stumps in plot. Forest of medium sized Quercus alba with Liriodendron tulipifera with Fagus grandifolia in subcanopy. Low cover in herb layer mostly by tree seedlings and ferns.
