Observation Narrative
Plot location: ca. 120 meters N of Pungo Ferry Road at a point 0.9 miles W of Bridge over the North Landing River.
Vegetation in plot is typical of Pinus serotina woodland/forest which surrounds the classic "high pocosin" shrublands at this site. The peat mantle in the plot area is probably thinner than that underlying the pocosin and perhaps has a longer period of seasonal saturation. Although shrubs are plentiful, this vegetation lacks the nearly impenetrable shrub layer of the pocosin, and Acer rubrum, Myrica cerifera, Vaccinium corymbosum, and Osmunda spp are notably more common.
