Landscape Narrative	This plot is representative of many disturbed areas throughout the New River Gorge National River. There are many such railroad right-of-ways dominated with weedy species such as Echium vulgare, Polygonum cuspidatum, Verbascum thapsus, V. blattaria, etc...;This plot is located on a flat railroad right-of-way area. The ground is mostly covered with gravel from the railroad bed.
