5 years ago I've added comments below for each taxon that is in tlu_Plants as both the Tree AND Shrub. The "low-resolution" taxa (e.g., anything at the "Family" level) should be kept as having both habits, since the habit will vary by species. At the time of sampling, I'd suggest taking all of the "tree" measurements, (so it's good that they all appear as a Tree in the habit drop down), since we only record a sub-set of the data for shrubs.
TSN Latin_Name 18042 Cupressaceae Family 19038 Ulmaceae Family 19358 Quercus ilicifolia -- listed in protocol as a shrub (and I agree with the protocol's treatment!) 19465 Betulaceae Family 22528 Salix eriocephala -- I don't know this species, but based on a quick google search and knowing other Salix, I'd treat it as a shrub. Most Salix species grow as multi-stemmed individuals. Add all Salix spp. to shrub table of protocol. 22546 Salix humilis --same reasoning as above. Go with shrub 22554 Salix lucida --same reasoning as above. Go with shrub 23463 Ericaceae Family 24538 Rosaceae Family 24763 Prunus americana --shrub --> add to shrub table in protocol 24768 Prunus angustifolia --shrub --> add to shrub table in protocol 24774 Prunus domestica --I don't know this species (very rare exotic in our area), but a quick review of species descriptions suggests treating it as a tree 24806 Prunus virginiana --shrub --> add to shrub table in protocol 25108 Amelanchier spp. --protocol says tree, and I won't disagree 25296 Pyrus pyrifolia --I don't know this species (very rare exotic in our area), but a quick review of species descriptions suggests treating it as a tree 26198 Robinia viscosa --I don't know this species well, but I lean towards calling it a Tree 28773 Rhus copallina --go with Tree for now, although I can imagine places 28823 Toxicodendron vernix --shrub, simply so that the field crew can avoid touching this toxic tree. We should add this species to the shrub table in the protocol 28989 Poncirus trifoliata --shrub --> add to shrub table in protocol 28992 Ptelea trifoliata --shrub --> add to shrub table in protocol 32927 Oleaceae Family 194883 Taxus baccata --tree 194886 Taxus cuspidata --tree 500059 Fabaceae Family 505297 Sorbus hybrida --tree 999999 Unknown --for the same reason that we should treat low resolution taxa as Trees, I think Unknown should default to Tree

Several species are setup in tlu_Plants to have both the Tree AND Shrub habit.
@lizmatthews03 https://github.com/lizmatthews03, @johnpauls https://github.com/johnpauls, @abrolis https://github.com/abrolis Please check if all of the species listed SHOULD be setup as having BOTH habits (both tree and shrub).
All species In the list below have both Tree and Shrub set as habits. All appear as a Tree in the habit dropdown on the saplings tab (since all are marked as Tree and the underlying code looks for trees first, they all appear as Tree)

Since #103 https://github.com/NCRN/ForestVeg/issues/103 has been automated, it is important that this aspect is corrected at the same time to avoid data that requires fixing moving forward.
