Observation Narrative ? The plot is located on the sheltered north slope of the White Hills dune ridge, ca. 0.6 mi southeast of the mouth of Janeys Creek. Canopy-dominant Pinus taeda has several hardwood associates here, particularly Prunus serotina in the subcanopy layer. Vine tangles characterize the herbaceous layer.
