^ This data form can be used for both the Plant Community Transect Sampling Approach and the Fixed 



Interval Transect Sampling Approach. 

 2 These entries are only applicable to the Fixed Interval Transect Sampling Approach which uses only one 



quadrat per sampling point along a transect. 

 ^ These entries are only applicable to the Plant Community Transect Sampling Approach which uses 



multiple quadrats per sampling point along a transect. 

 ^ To determine the dominants, first rank the species by their cover (or mean cover). Then cumulatively sum 



the cover (mean cover) of the ranked species until 50% of the total for all species cover (mean cover) is 



immediately exceeded. All species contributing to that cumulative total (the dominance threshold number) 



plus additional species having 20% of the total cover (mean cover) value should be considered 



dominants and marked with an asterisk.
