Observation Narrative	Plot location: Field ca. 0.5 miles S of Sudley Springs, just S of gas pipeline right-of-way. No surface rocks present. This plot is representative of many periodic mowed meadows in the Park that support warm-season grass-dominate vegetation. This is basically characterized by an association of Schizachyrium scoparium ssp. scoparium (most abundant on drier sites) and Sorghastrum nutans (most abundant on moister sites). A number of low-cover legumes and composites are typical associates. Although artificially maintained, this vegetation is thought to have prairie-like affinities and may simulate the herbaceous component of naturally open savannas reported from the pre-settlement Culpeper Basin. Two unusual species, Carex meadii and Buchnera americana, are components of the vegetation sampled here.
