Observation Narrative	Community Type: sea level fen Community Description: Dominated by graminoids - Cladium mariscoides has the highest concentration. Sphagnum-covered ground - decumbent Panicum (ensifolium) in thick mats; also Eleocharis tortilis. A few short shrubs are found in low densities. Entire community floats atop a thick Sphagnum bog mat; plot is close to Peters Creek, which flows into one of the impoundments. No soil specimen taken but stream is sand-bottomed. The only evident disturbance is the fact that the community is in a well-maintained powerline cut.
