Since I last visited my phenology spot in Centennial Woods about two weeks ago, I have noticed a considerable change in the vegetation there.  For example, the forest floor is now littered with fallen leaves and the canopy cover has reduced in size.  This allows for more light to enter the lower levels of the forest, changing the forest dynamic.  I also noticed that the jewelweed stand had completely perished, leaving behind a muddy, plant-less patch of soil in its place.  Additionally, the reedy plants in the wetland turned from a healthy green color to brown and dry.
