Observation Narrative
The plot is located on a leveled interdune and supports a shrub community characterized by Myrica pensylvanica. Despite rather dense shrub growth, a well-developed herbaceous layer is present. Similar shrublands are frequent in variable secondary dune habitats of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
Plot located on dune flats just northeast of "D Pool" dike.
