Observation Narrative	Plot location: On pine-dominated "island" in Tupelo swamp, between the Northwest River and Gallbush Rd., ca. 0.4 miles ESE of jct. Rt. 168 and Gallbush Rd. Very slightly vertically and horizontally convex. Slight hummock and hollow microtopography. The vegetation in this plot occupies an isolated and slightly elevated "island" of firm, fibrous peat in a mucky, seasonally flooded Nyssa biflora swamp. On the peat island, flooding is less frequent and of shorter duration, and a pine-hardwood forest of Pinus taeda, Nyssa biflora, Magnolia virginiana, Persea palustris, Myrica cerifera, and Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis prevails. Very similar communities occur on wind-tidally flooded peats bordering the marshes of the lower Northwest River, suggesting that oligotrophic, relatively undecomposed peat substrates may be more important than hydrologic regimes in controlling the development and distribution of these pine forests.
