2007 classification: 02 (Bl - Soopolallie - Lichen).
Plot is strongly neutral which does not fit the 02 description but the soil is very shallow and there is a lot of exposed bedrock in plot.

Mor: 15 cm
Plot in a slightly raised, coarse area between small flood channel and high SMR floodplain of large river. Site appears to experience both wet and dry periods throughout the year; is on the floodplain but it raised up from rest of it a bit. As a result vegetation is not going to fit well into any site series description.
2006 site series: 08 (Sxw - Dogwood - Feathermoss)
