Observation Narrative
Plot location: Training area T-17, to the east of the Research and Development Center, NNE in ravine from the powerline right-of-way.
Plot placement was a necessary compromise. There are several pieces of concrete in the plot thrown down from McClellan Loop Road. The trees, however, are the best and most mature ones seen in the area, and the site allowed for a 20x20 plot. The plot is adjacent to a small stream which is completely dry now. Any wet/ephemeral herbs are unaccounted for. Several wet indicator plants (Boehmeria cylindrica, Circaea lutetiana) surround the edge of the depression within the plot and are showing drought stress.
