Observation Narrative ? Plot located on outer portion of a wide floodplain along Difficult Run. Small seasonally flooded areas are scattered within the floodplain, most of which is probably moderately well drained to somewhat poorly drained. Forest growth is relatively young and apparently even-aged, dominated mostly by Liriodendron tulipifera and Acer rubrum, with occasional Populus deltoides and Betula nigra. A two lane county road is adjacent to and elevated above the site. Many exotics are present; Lonicera japonica is generally most abundant.
