Observation Narrative	This plot describes a bald cypress woodland at the ecotone of tidal marsh and tidal swamp. Marsh species prevail in the herbaceous flora, and overall vascular plant species richness is much lower than that of plot DRGS001, which contains many low marsh species. Both plots are cypress woodlands, but floristic composition differs considerably. Water covers the entire plot at high tide. Plot located west of Meggs Bay and south of plot DRGS001, near small channel bordered by scattered cypress trees.
