Landscape Narrative	The tree cover is homogeneous; Paw Paw in the sub-canopy is scattered in clumps. Most herbaceous cover is homogeneous except for Onoclea sensibilis which is concentrated near the center strip of forest. A few pieces of plastic trash washed in during floods. Some of the Toxicodendron and Parthenocissus are on tree trunks.
