Step 3b: Vegetation composition summary sheet: (i)
(i) groups of native and introduced species
- Summarise the abundance of the plants indentified in the land units from Sheet 3a. Indicate if the species is:
- C: Common (more than 20 hits in 100 steps)
- O: Occasional (5 to 20 hits in 100 steps)
- U: Uncommon (less than 5 hits in 100 steps).
- Record the tree and shrub cover
- Use Figures 1 and 2 to identify the ecological community present in each management unit.
