Observation Narrative
The plot is located on a coarse, cobble-gravel bar with low herbaceous vegetation. Microtopography has local hummocks and hollows; a steep, eroding sand bank is adjacent, with the forested floodplain at the top. Vegetation is relatively sparse in this habitat, but is very representative of late-season shoreline bars that are colonized by quick-growing annuals.
