Proportion of species
Piloted new method for estimat<strong>in</strong>g cover <strong>in</strong> summit area<br />
sections (SAS) – add<strong>in</strong>g fixed 10m x 10 m plots<br />
STEP 1: Read po<strong>in</strong>t hits every 1m along<br />
100 m l<strong>in</strong>e, top cover <strong>and</strong> species hits<br />
10 traverses<br />
STEP 2: Survey plot, enter ‘With<strong>in</strong> Plot’ absolute or<br />
percent cover estimates for all species encountered.<br />
10m x 10m plot <strong>in</strong><br />
each SAS<br />
STEP 3: Survey rema<strong>in</strong>der of SAS, enter ‘Entire SAS’<br />
absolute or percent cover estimates for additional species<br />
encountered.<br />
STEP 4: Revisit species encountered <strong>in</strong> Steps 1 <strong>and</strong> 2,<br />
enter ‘Entire SAS’ percent cover estimates if different.
