Usage Considerations or Constraints Data represents annual plant community composition collected mid-growing season. Vascular plants are identified to species; bryophytes and lichens are identified to broad taxonomic groupings. Percent cover estimates are sufficient to estimate relative abundance, but are qualitative estimates and are prone to observer error.
