Observation Narrative	Vegetation in this plot is overwhelmingly dominated by a nearly monospecific stand of the northern grass Calamagrostis canadensis var. canadensis. At Big Meadows, swards of this grass occur in a patch mosaic with Cornus racemosa-Spiraea alba var. latifolia scrub thickets and herbaceous patches dominated by Carex spp. and Sanguisorba canadensis.
