Observation Narrative ? Plot is located on a gently sloping, convex, upper slope along the Potomac River. Soils here are fertile and support a mixed mesophytic forest with medium to large-sized Liriodendron tulipifera, Quercus rubra, and Carya spp. The vernal aspect of the site features a patchy assemblage of nutrient-demanding herbaceous ephemerals, especially Podophyllum peltatum and Claytonia virginia. During the summer, herb cover is reduced and the site is characterized by exceedingly dense colonies of Asimina triloba.
