Landscape Narrative	Railroad tracks are located just above the plot. Towards the river is a more frequently flooded forest with little litter layer (more typical PLOC-FRPE) and fewer shrubs.;High floodplain forest of large tulip poplars and red oaks with a diverse shrub layer dominated by silverbell. Compare to plot 362. Topography undulates forming levees and swales parallel to the river.
