Description

This data contains a once-off general structural description according to the National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) level 5 for the core 1 hectare plot in the Great Western Woodlands site in 2013. Dominant growth form, cover, height and species (up to 5 species in order of dominance) for up to 3 sub-stratum per traditional strata (Ground, Mid and Upper).

Purpose
Sampling vegetation structure provides a comprehensive means of describing and representing vegetation information based on establishing relationships between structural and floristic data. The vegetation community is the most commonly-used method for defining and communicating a species’ distribution by relating the species’ observation points and the vegetation type in which they are situated.

Lineage

Vegetation structure description:
A once-off general structural description according to the National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) level 5 (Australian Vegetation Attribute Manual, 2003; https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/land/native-vegetation/national-vegetation-information-system) was carried out within the core 1 ha plot at the Great Western Woodlands site in 2013. Dominant growth form, cover, height and species (up to 5 species in order of dominance) for up to 3 sub-stratum per traditional strata (Ground, Mid and Upper).The dominant growth form, cover, height and species per traditional strata (Ground, Mid and Upper) were recorded.
