Observation Narrative	Community Type: sea level fen Community Description: Sealevel fen sandwiched between wet maple woods and grading into salt marsh on the seaward side. Fen is comprised of more or less 90% graminoids and forbs with occassional scattered shrubs and a few "islands" of shrubs and trees. Near the wood edge, P. virgatum and Cladium are about a 50/50 mix. Heading seaward, going slightly uphill, the next band is mostly C. mariscoides and S. patens with tussocks of Thelypteris palustris with either Rubus sp., Rosa sp., or T. radicans. A band of Cladium/Spartina continues to a wet depression dominated by E. rostellata. Proceeding seaward, S. patens becomes more abundant as Cladium decreases. Most of the fen is fairly dry except for occassional soggy spots. It is wettest near the woods.
