Observation Narrative	Plot is located in a fairly extensive oak-hickory "flatwoods." In the vicinity of the plot location, the landscape slopes slightly toward the headwaters of a small, sluggish drain. DOF has aged this stand at 145 years, which probably represents the age of the oldest white oaks and hickories. However, the stand was selectively thinned decades ago. The stand composition changes from mixed oaks and hickories to dominance by Carya glabra, and evidence of a seasonally perched water table (standing water in old road ruts and depressions) increases. Sticky clay soils suggest the presence of a subsoil hardpan, causing the habitat to alternate between waterlogged during wet periods and droughty during dry periods.
