Landscape Narrative	This plot is located on riverside cobble area. The dominant tree layer species are Platanus occidentalis, Betula nigra, and some Salix nigra. Shrub components include Cephalanthus occidentalis, Cornus amomum, and Salix caroliniana (growing flat across the rocks). Apocynum cannabinum, Baptisia australis, and Andropogon gerardii are characteristic herbaceous elements.;This plot is on a sandy, cobble beach. The area is surely inundated early in the season.
