An aerial view of one "border disputes" subplot in the open oak woodland restoration plots in June 2020. The invasive Microstegium vimineum patch is expanding down from the top of the image. A white PVC quadrat (0.25 × 0.25 m) surrounds the subplot. The subplot contains leaf litter and native plant species indicative of fire restoration. However, it also contains the first M. vimineum seedlings from the expanding invasive patch.
