Observation Narrative
Still open although no recent fires, shrubs, saplings, increaasing.
Very open canopy, still herb dominated, but shrub/sapling layer developing due to lack of recent fire. High abundance of Sabatia campanulata and Eupatorium semiserratum distinctive and resembling the other clay savanna plot (Clay Savanna #2). Abundant sapling regeneration of Quercus phellos and Q. shumardii also distinctive and perhaps indicative of clay influence. Broad area of clay soils in contrast to restricted area of the other clay sample site (Clay #2 above).
