Observation Narrative	Directions to plot and tree tag: Tree is tagged with pink and black striped flagging because there is another orange flagged trail in the area. Tagged tree is a Tsuga canadense of 31 cm dbh with tag # 426. Conduit is at a bearing of 320 degrees and 7.4 m from tree. Plot location was selected in eh field by DNH Ecologist, targeting acidic cove forests. Floodplain terrace fairly scrubby along stream - there are signs of occasional scour events. Canopy height was not measured, but Pinus strobus appears to be an emergent canopy > 35 m over the main canopy that is less than 20 m. Other strata heights were not recorded, but entered as the maximum height. Percentage cover by stratum was not measured , actual percentages and cover classes for database entry were estimated by examining cover classes for individual species.
