APPENDIX A. Directions to vegetation plots. Lowland Forest Plots Plots A1-4 From the intersection of Rialto Trail (Tail Dike Trail) and Pecan Alley, go SE on Pecan Alley to a large pecan tree broken off at head height on the N side of the trail. The center post is located 45 m due E of the broken pecan tree. 20 m from the center post in each of the cardinal directions a 30-cm long piece of rebar, sunk level with the ground, marks the corner of each plot. The plots radiate in a clockwise direction from those corners. Plots B1-4 From the intersection of Rialto Trail (Tail Dike Trail) and Pecan Alley, go 100 m due W to a center post at the base of a large cottonwood tree. 20 m from the center post in each of the cardinal directions a 30-cm long piece of rebar, sunk level with the ground, marks the corner of each plot. The plots radiate in a counter clockwise direction from those corners. Plot C From the intersection of Chief Joseph Loop and River Trail, go NE along River Trail for approximately 1500 paces (1 km). A large, dead tree lies parallel to the trail on the NW side. A major trail crosses the trail 15 m SW of the dead tree. From the root base of the dead tree go 100 m SE to the corner of the plot. The plot has one large cottonwood, a variety of mixed hardwoods, and an herbaceous understory of horsetails. Plot D From the intersection of Sawmill Trail and the S end of Pecan Alley go NE along Sawmill Trail 26 m to a large, double-trunk pecan. From the tree go 99 m N to a mulberry tree with a circumference of 89 cm, which marks the corner of the plot. Plot E From the intersection of Sawmill Trail and the S end of Pecan Alley go NE along the old Sawmill Trail. The trail deteriorates. Follow the broad drainage to the vicinity of the heron rookery. In the drainage due N of the heron rookery a large double-trunk pecan is in the corner of the plot. Plot F From the intersection of Rialto Trail (Tail Dike Trail) and Pecan Alley, continue NE on Rialto Trail for approximately 200 m to birding flags on the right side of the trail. Go due E 250 m to a pecan-hackberry site. Plot G From the intersection of Sawmill Trail and Pecan Alley go N on Pecan Alley for approximately 240 m. Then go due E for 235 m to large sycamores. Plot H From the intersection of Chief Joseph Loop and River Trail go NE on River Trail. Approximately 2.4 km from the intersection. Go due E for 65 m to the corner of the plot. Plot I From the intersection of Sawmill Trail and Pecan Alley, go 340 m N along Pecan NATURAL AREAS INVENTORY OF FT. LEAVENWORTH II 131
