| Location Narrative |
"EO is in the NJ Pine Barrens, a large field coastal plain region with sandy soils primarily dominated by Pinus rigida - Quercus Woodland. The area is dissected by low relief drainage of rivers and creeks. Cedar swamps form along the banks of these rivers and their associated lowlands. This EO occurs in a Pine Barrens Savannah and herbaceously dominated opening in the swamp."

| Layout Narrative |
Transect endpoints are permanently marked with rebar. Distance and compass bearing measurements to the plot location with measurements of plot orientation off the transect were taken. GPS coordinates for each corner of the plot was taken with submeter accuracy.; Plot on 60m transect 112 degrees SE, at 19-21m on S side; Environmental Comments: "flat, inundated, some minute topography with Eriocaulon aquaticum, open muck/peat"

Hydrologic Regime: semipermanently - permanently flooded but categorized here as semipermanently flooded.
Soil Texture: Organic - muck.
Von Post scale of peat decomposition = H3.
Abiotic Factors: "Peat intact - minimum decomposition indicates stable hydrology. Water quality good."; Landscape Context: Excellent condition cedar swamp and pitch pine forest.; Hydrology influenced by groundwater seepage. Found in Nescohague Watershed.; Unvegetated Surface Cover: "Algae covered muck with water."

| Observation Narrative |
Community Type: Pine Barrens savanna
This EO is characterized by Orontium, Juncus pelocarpus and Drosera intermedia (and, in this case Rhyncospora inundata). It occurs in the lowest section of the savanna opening and is immediately surrounded by open water downstream and sedge dominated community type on the other sides. The opening grades into shrubby habitat and cedar swamp. Periodic flooding and evidence of browsing on nearby cedars.; Condition: "Kept in early succession by inundation."; "Patchy distribution of dominants, fairly rich (12 spp.) for such a wet community."; Other associated species present but not in plot: Juncus canadensis Eleocharis tuberculosa, Triadenum virginicum; Dragonfly (large, blue) present.
