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 Whroo Dry Eucalypt site in 2014. 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 Whroo Dry Eucalypt site in 2014. 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. 
Method DocumentationData not provided.
Procedure StepsData not provided.
Whroo Dry Eucalypt site is 45 km south-west of Shepparton, Victoria. Vegetation on the site is classified as box woodland, dominated by two main Eucalypt species (Eucalyptus microcarpa (Grey Box) and Eucalyptus leucoxylon (Yellow Gum).
