Plot location: To the east of an unnamed feeder creek to Dogue Creek, south of the Humphrey Engineering Center.
Measured slope (ave.): 0-3% (level or nearly so).
See plot form for drawing of plot location and further descriptions.
The quality of this plot is not high. Exotics, namely Microstegium, plague the plot and undoubtably exclude natives in the herb layer. Trees in the area are young Liriodendrons and Liquidambar in succession. The plot was selected, however, because it is a characteristic type on base.
