Observation Narrative	"low pocosin" type of the "bays" in FRMA; plants are growing in a fibrous-root peaty matrix which is saturated with standing water (1 foot); most areas area low (about 4dm) tall shrubs & graminoids; trees very scattered; area frequently burned (2-3 years); Disturbance Comments: frequently burned; saturated because water table is typically at or just above ground layer in typical year; near road for ease of access & to sample this low, part-herb-dominated phase; Other Comments: there are significant patches of Carex without Lyonia lucida
