The slightly higher intervale locations were covered by American elm in former times, with red oak, red maple, and white ash also occurring on better drained gravel bars, levees or beaches. |
It afterwards diminishes, and strips of intervale narrow its bed. |
Spring floods that deposit nutrient-rich sediment over the floodplain replenish the intervale zone annually. |
The intervale and low lands are generally later in drying, and are generally cultivated in June. |
On the left or opposite bank of the stream there was no intervale at all. |
This limits obviously the possible intervale but n the other hand this gets to us authorities of weak poid in memory. |
