Observation Narrative ? Community Type: tidal brackish marsh Community Description: Oligohaline tidal marsh community along the South River. Upland woods surround the area to the W and S. Woods are oak-dominated with sandy soil. Marsh has large stands of Phragmites australis, scattered, especially along higher ground. Stands of Typha angustifolia dominate the lower sections, often mixed with Zizania aquatica. This Typha/Zizania community is found along much of the N side of the stream where Phragmites is largely absent. Some wrack and debris can be seen along the shoreline. No recent disturbance.
