Observation Narrative
Canopy is Acer rubrum and Quercus phellos. The surrounding forest is dominated by Carya car. sept. Smilax rotundifolia is abundant surrounding swamp. Shrub and herb layers are very sparse.
Suburban backyards are only ~25 m from swamp - significant light penetration. Woods are weedy and invaded. Some trash. This probably also affects pool hydrology.
