Observation Narrative
The vegetation here has good natural qualities (i.e., it is not a pine plantation monoculture); pines appear to be the natural dominants on xeric sands such as this. Quercus laevis is scarce here, being restricted to the most open, xeric microhabitats.
Trees measured in plot (dbh in cm): Pinus taeda (33), Quercus laevis (15).
Plot located in semi-open pine forest.
