Landscape Narrative	There are many small changes in vegetation as the microtopography changes in this bed like depression. Many clumps of vegetation are too small to sample. The plot is intermediate among them. A pin oak with dbh of 198 cm. is nearby to the north. To the east is is a younger pin oak forest with Elymus virginicus.;The plot is located in a transitional zone between lower ground with buttonbush and higher ground with with more closed pin oak forest.
