Forested ecosystems along the central Atlantic coast of North America are at risk of degradation resulting from chronic hydrologic stress in the form of sea level rise and acute stress in the form of saltwater inundation introduced by storm events. This rapid degradation has led to the formation of "ghost forests"- recently transitioned shrub and grass marshes with stillstanding dead trees overhead as plant communities change over the span of just a few years.Such rapid transition has made it difficult for researchers to maintain current estimates of community composition, stand structure, and standing carbon stores. This study aims to resample historic plots established by previous research as well as establish new permanent plots for future study with the intent to assess community composition and standing carbon stores. Thirteen plots composed of pond pine pocosin in the northern area of the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in Dare county, North Carolina, were sampled, three of which were sampled in 2003 - 2004 and five of which were sampled in 2015. From this data, allometric equations were used to estimate standing carbon stores within each plot, the values of which were compared to their historic states. Additionally, the Guide to the Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (4th Approximation)was used to determine the different community types present across the northern area of peninsular Dare county. As forest conditions are expected to further degrade as climate change continues to impact the globe, this study is intended to allow future research within these permanently marked plots and to allow for more regular assessment of these ecosystems in transition. Sequential data from these ecosystems could then potentially be used to predict the trajectory of other coastal forests at risk to previously mentioned hydrologic stress and subsequent transition.
