Observation Narrative ? Note: the digital geologic map unit (sp - Swamp deposits) is incorrect and does not account for deep sand deposits that form the dunes in First Landing/Seashore State Park. This plot captures the short, SW-facing slope of a dune ridge. The long axis of the plot was parallel to the slope, while the short axis extended from just above the slope base (adjacent to a swamp) to the crest. Quercus falcata, Carya pallida, Oxydendrum arboreum, Symplocos tinctoria, and several large, old Pinus taeda dominate the area in and around the plot.
