Observation Narrative ? Plot captures representative vegetation dominated by Spartina cynosuroides; this type appears to prevail throughout the outer portion of the tidal marsh along Bush Mill Stream. Echinochloa walteri is probably overrepresented relative to its overall importance. Larger examples of the Spartina patens - Schoenoplectus americanus vegetation sampled in plot BUSH001P occur in the vicinity. Marsh surface is very uneven, with numerous small channels (most of which do not appear to drain toward the main stream channel) and apparently more isolated, sparsely vegetated "holes" are scattered throughout. Surface water present only in channels at time of sampling (2:30 PM).
