Observation Narrative
Plot location: Off Accotink Creek Trail; enter trail head from Poe Rd., west of the Poe Rd. bridge over Accotink Creek. Plot is on the east side of the trail on a flat, adjacent to Accotink Creek.
Plot contains hummock and hollow microtopography.
See plot form for drawing.
The plot is dominated by green ash, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, with a Boehmeria and Poa trivialis dominated herb layer. There is a clearing adjacent to the creek that is influenced more by exotics and could impact the quality of the plot. High water wrack lines of twigs/ branches are within the plot.
