Observation Narrative ? Basic seepage swamp in bottom of ravine with soils enhanced by Miocene shell deposits. Plot was situated near the head of the ravine, in a somewhat drier and less mucky habitat than that of plot CPSP008. A small stream with strongly flowing water traverses the eastern edge of plot. Taxodium distichum is nearly absent here, but Nyssa biflora is an overstory co-dominant. Surrounding slopes have a number of downed trees (likely from Hurricane Isabel). See plot form for sketch of plot configuration.
