Observation Narrative
Plot located ca. 240 meters upstream of PAMR166; habitat similar, but slightly lower and farther from river. Composition varies somewhat from PAMR166; Quercus shumardii, rather than Q. michauxii, is the principal oak, and a different set of herbaceous patch-dominants occur. Overall stand not as mature.
