Plot ID Fields:
Author Plot Code	DEWA.49
Author Observation Code	DEWA.49.2003
Original Data Location	This observation was uploaded from NatureServe's Ecological Observations Database (EcoObs), version 13 June 2016. Some data values may be midpoints of EcoObs classes (e.g. stratum height, slope, aspect).
Location Fields:	MAP: Google | Yahoo | TopoZone | MapQuest
Confidentiality Status	10 km radius (nearest 0.1 degree)
Latitude	41.1 º
Longitude	-75 º
State or Province	Pennsylvania
Country	United States
Named Places	area|country|territory: United States region|state|province: Pennsylvania
Layout Fields:
Shape	Square
Area	400 m²
Permanence	not permanent
Environment Fields:
Elevation	125 m
Slope Aspect	(n/a, flat) º
Slope Gradient	0 º
Topographic Position	Basin floor
Landform	flood plain
Representativeness	Floodplain forest is mostly dominated by red maple and green ash that are not fully represented in plot. Beyond this, plot seems representative, however, vegetation is so dense that it is diffucult to see all of the surrounding area.
Soil Drainage	somewhat poorly drained
Percent Bedrock	0 %
Percent Wood	5 %
Percent Litter	45 %
Percent Bare Soil	40 %
Percent Water	10 %
Methods Fields:
Observation Start Date	10-Jul-2003
Observation End Date	10-Jul-2003
Date Accuracy	Exact
Project	Pennsylvania HP Delaware Water Gap
Cover Method	Percentage (%)
Stratum Method	National Park Service
Plot Quality Fields:
Plot Validation Level	(2) classification plot: sufficient for inclusion in a classification revision
Overall Plot Vegetation Fields:
--no data--
Misc Fields:
Observation Narrative	Due to flooding, there is insufficient dry litter to carry fire. However, in a dry year, shrub clumps could burn.
