The authors developed a vegetation map [in back pocket] to document current distributions of plant communities. The report discusses correlations between plant communities and elevation, soil type, and hydrologic patterns. With schematic maps for aquatic vegetation, elevational profile of the 5 transects and indication of relative elevation, graphs of hydroperiods and soil depths.
