While walking around my phenology sight I was able to come to the conclusion that it is an oak-hickory forest. This. is mainly due to the dominance of oak in the area. Although still young oaks there is a clear takeover of oak trees. Not an invasive way but in pure numbers alone. With all the recent precipitation the sight is beginning to change for the spring. The snow is beginning to melt and the plant life looks like its beginning to breathe for the first time all winter. The ground is still covered in what snow is left before the next storm and the dead understory that didn’t make the winter. There are areas that will clearly hold large amounts of new life this spring.
