Step 3a: Vegetation composition field sheet: (i)

 (i) groups of native and introduced species

  1. In each management unit, record as a tally the times that each group of species is 'hit' in the 100 step transects. Each step counts as a 'hit'. More than one species may be 'hit' at each step.
  2. Record also the number of 'hits' of rocks and bare ground or litter.
  3. Total up the number of 'hits' of each group of species, rocks and bare ground in each management unit.
