Landscape Narrative	This community is above the riverside Platanus occidentalis/Betula nigra community. This area is surely effected by high water events. The predominant vegetation in this community is Gleditsia triacanthos, Platanus occidentalis, Asimina triloba, Lindera benzoin, and Microstegium vimineum and Glechoma hederacea in the herb layer.;This community is in a low level area along the New River and a small backwater channel off the New River. It is surely effected by seasonal high water events.
Representativeness	This plot represents a riverside woodland community. It is dominated by Platanus occidentalis, Betula nigra, and Gleditsia triacanthos. The shrub layer is thick with Asimina triloba and Lindera benzoin. As you get closer to the river the canopy is almo
