Observation Narrative
The vegetation in this plot is characteristic of the more natural, fire influenced communities in which Rhus michauxii thrives in Virginia. The habitat is very open, savanna like woodland which probably burned during the winter of 1993-94. Although floristic diversity is moderately high, dense sods of Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem) limit the number of individuals of other species.
