Observation Narrative	Plot location: ca. 1.5 miles ENE of Land of Promise. Lot center is a triple- flagged Pinus serotina. Hummock and hollow microtopography. A classic "high pocosin" peatland community, with nearly impenetrable, head-high evergreen shrubs and scattered low trees of Pinus serotina. DNH surveys and photographs from 1990 indicate that shrubs were aproximately knee-high following a major fire in the mid-1980's. Small sphagnous openings at that time supporting Cleistes divaricata, Pogonia ophioglossoides, Carex striata var. brevis, Andropogon glomeratus, and other relatively delicate, light-demanding herbaceous plants. No sign of these openings or plants could be found in 1995 and the vegetation had grown up and closed in dramatically. Plot was located at the site of a peat core taken during a study of millenium-long fire and vegetation histories commissioned by DCR-DNH.
