Observation Narrative ? A long, narrow plot configuration was necessary to maintain vegetational homogeneity along this boggy, high elevation stream bottom. Even so, some microtopographic heterogeneity is unavoidable because of a braided, hummocky stream channel and the presence of two stream terrace levels. This community can be generally characterized as Picea rubens-Betula allegheniensis forest with a prevalence of wetland graminoids - e.g., Glyceria melicaria, Carex spp., Cinna latifolia. Plot located at headwaters of Buck Run, 0.3 mi southeast of Locust Spring Picnic Area.
