Observation Narrative
This plot is located approximately 140 m upstream from HIGH005 and represents a similar habitat and vegetation assemblage. This bog, however, occupies a depression along the edge of the floodplain and has much higher cover by Carex stricta and Symplocarpus foetidus. The past influences of beavers and fire on this habitat and vegetation are uncertain
