Observation Narrative	Spartina alterniflora dominates an extensive inland portion of the marsh along Chippokes Creek; riverward S. cynosuroides appears to be the most abundant species. Tussocks of Spartina accumulate sediment around their bases, creating very uneven microtopography and opportunities for the establishment of other species. Standing water (ca. 15 cm at time of sampling) prevented estimation of hummock height or cover. Typha angustifolia appears to have invaded a portion of the stand captured by this plot.
