Observation Narrative	This stand of warm-season grasses is extraordinarily robust late in the growing season of an unusually wet year. Dense Equisetum and scattered Andropogon had been observed before, but Sorghastrum was not evident during previous visits. Several exotics and native weeds are present, but this stand lacks the dense Festuca observed in more extensive patch of mesic prairie to the east. Plot is located just east of unit that was prescribed burned in February 2003.
