Landscape Narrative	This plot is similar to the large Acer saccharum/Aesculus flava community except that Aesculus flava is not abundant in the tree layer. It is only abundant in the shrub layers. In this local area, Ulmus rubra seems to fill the role that Aesculus usually holds.;This plot is in an area with little canopy cover. Because of this Toxicodendron radicans has spread over much of the ground.
Representativeness	This plot is a southeast facing slope dominated primarily by Acer saccharum. Most areas like this are usually Acer saccharum/Aesculus flava community. This area, however, does not have a lot of Aesculus flava in the tree layer. It is primarily found in
