Statement
Gentry surveys were conducted using the methodology outline in the<a href=https://supersites.tern.org.au/images/resource/SuperSites_Vegetation_Monitoring_Protocols_Ver1.21.pdf">TERN vegetation monitoring protocols</a>. <br> Mid-Stratum Gentry survey <br> Along 6 x 50 m Gentry transects, diameter at breast height (DBH), vegetative height and crown length and width were recorded for all stems >10cm DBH.<br> Sub-Stratum Gentry survey <br> The sub-strata was surveyed along 6 x 50 m Gentry transects. The dominant grass, herb and woody species were recorded. The height of plants in the sub-strata were recorded, along with the percentage cover of dominant species and entire group for the grass, herb and woody species separately.
