a First Hit Cover = Absolute percent cover in vertical view with no account of
plants obscured by first (i.e. top) hit.
b Frequency = Percent of the samples in which a species or lifeform occurred
° First Hit Relative Cover = Percent of the First Hit vegetation cover comprised
of this species or lifeform
All Hit Cover = Absolute percent cover in vertical view accounting for all cover
by the species or lifeform, whether over - arched by other plants or not
e All Hit Relative Cover = Percent of the All Hit vegetation cover comprised of
this species or lifeform
*P= Present within 1 m. on either side of cover transect, but not quantitatively encountered.
() =Data in parens. = 2nd hits. A 1st hit is top -most layer of vegetation, below 1st hit interceptions may exist other interceptions - these are 2nd hits.
