Abstract

The research area of this study lies in the prairie-forest ecotone of the Mt. Vernon Hill Country, an area of low relief characterized by gently rolling hills and broad alluvial valleys. Floristically, the area drained by White Walnut Creek is part of the Oak-Hickory Forest Region of the Western Mesophytic Forest (Braun 1950).
