Landscape Narrative	Private land so limited road access, so minimal current disturbance. Surrounded by open graminoid "bog".;Historic logging. This dense, short shrub community seems to occupy a slightly higher elevation lens in the middle of the wetland. The chokeberry forms a dense "canopy" at about 1.2 m with blueberries underneath. Hummocks are muted in the center of the community type but very pronounced (50 cm tall) at the edges.
Representativeness	Variant of plot done earlier today (TUCK.11). This has taller, denser chokeberry with no herbaceous cover. It is a pure stand of decent size.
