Observation Narrative	Community Type: non-tidal floodplain forest Community Description: This is a mature shrub swamp with very old, multitrunked shrubs, scattered stunted trees, and a carpet of Sphagnum with clustered sedges and forbs. The terrain is hummock (60%) and hollow (40%) - the hummocks are large and formed by the root mass of shrubs and/or trees. The hollows are sinuey and filled with Sphagnum. Water table is at or above the surface of the hollows; the hummocks are above water at this time of the year but support Sphagnum and other wetland mosses. Dominant species include Vaccinium corymbosum, Clethra alnifolia, Aronia melanocarpa, Nemopanthus mucronata, Ilex verticillata, Osmunda regalis, Carex folliculata, and Sphagnum spp. Scattered trees include Tsuga canadensis, Pinus rigida, Betula papyrifera, and Acer rubrum. The swamp grades into oak-heath-dominated rocky upland.
