Observation Narrative	Temp flooded. This type is of small extent and very rare; surrounded by other types of forest with much more Platanus; adjacent river is large so this probably gets semi-regular flooding.; 2 communities - mostly Betula nigra-Plat occ; but where there are breaks in canopy there is cane.;
