| Observation Narrative |
Community Type: tidal freshwater marsh
General Description: Oligohaline marsh dominated by Morella cerifera and Typha latifolia, forming a zone about 200 m wide between a reed marsh and an upland dominated by oaks and Virginia pine. There is some Chamaecyparis thyoides along the inland edge, and dead trunks of Chamaecyparis are scattered among the Morella and Typha. Phragmites creeps into this zone along the riverward edge, displacing Typha. Other species include Acer rubrum, Thelypteris palustris, Mikania scandens, Magnolia virginiana, Smilax rotundifolia, and Smilax walteri. Route 670 crosses these marshes on a raised causeway.
