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 Mitchell Grass Rangeland site in 2018. 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).

We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

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 Mitchell Grass Rangeland site in 2018. 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.
