Observation Narrative
Acer rubrum, Fraxinus are in the canopy. Shrub layer is dense and primarily Viburnum nudum and Lindera benzoin. Herb layer is marginally well developed and fairly diverse, possibly due to seep's small size, edge effects, and heterogeneity.
Extremely eroded and incised stream channel has probably drained most seep areas. Also seep is very close to forest edge/ag field. Lots of light penetration. Some trash dumping and two ponds upstream.
