Observation Narrative
Plot location: Blufftop overlooking Kerr Reservoir 0.15 miles north of boat ramp at Staunton River State Park.
This plot is located in the stand documented by plot SRSP001, but is situated in a slightly more mesic microhabitat. Vegetation is slightly less diverse than that in SRSP001 and features several mesophytes such as Tilia americana var. heterophylla, Asimina triloba, Cimicifuga racemosa, Nemophylla aphylla, and Scutellaria ovata (very robust). Several very impressive, old Quercus muhlenbergii trees (80 cm DBH) occur on this section of the bluff.
