Survey and documentation of the vascular plant species of Appomattox Court House National Historical Park
Lund AC. 1992. Survey and documentation of the vascular plant species of Appomattox Court House National Historical Park
Specimens of vascular plant species have been collected from different sites within park boundaries. Communities which have been sampled include: grazed upland mixed woodlot, pasture, unfenced (but occasionally mowed) meadow, open and shaded roadsides, mixed woods' edge, and open river's edge. Information recorded in a database on identified species (over 90 to date) includes family, common name, habitat, collection site, and more. Degree and type of disturbance (relatively undisturbed woods to regularly plowed fields) is likely to continue in a reasonably predictable manner, making the Park an interesting research site for studying the botanical diversity of the Piedmont. The park, while containing habitats representative of the central Piedmont but at the same time not subject to unpredictable land use, can be revisited and floral changes monitored over time
