Tot Cv (two-digit code) 



Total Cover - estimate the percent canopy cover for the 

 respective lifeform. This estimate is not the sum of all 

 species in the lifeform and does not count overlap. It is the 

 horizontal percent cover of the vertical projection of the 

 lifeform. 



Tal Cv (two-digit code) 



Tall Height Cover - estimate "Total Cover" (as described 

 above) by life form for individuals taller than 5 m (16.4 ft) . 



Med Cv (two-digit code) 



Medium Height Cover - estimate "Total Cover" (as described 

 above) by life form for individuals between 0.5 and 5 m tall 

 a.6 - 16.4 ft) . 



Low Cv (two-digit code) 



Low Height Cover - estimate "Total Cover" (as described above) 

 by life form for individuals between 0.05 and 0.5 ra tall (0.2 

 - 1.6 ft) . 



Grd Cv (two-digit code) 



Ground Height Cover - estimate "Total Cover" (as described 

 above) by life form for individuals shorter than 0.05 m (0.2 

 ft) . 



Milt (three-digit code) 



Mean Height - estimate the mean height of the dominant size 

 class within the respective lifeform. Indicate units of 

 measurement. 



CC (two-digit code) 



Canopy Cover - enter the appropriate canopy cover code listed 

 above for each species in each lifeform.
