In preparing comparison information for #153 SOP 8 Tables 15 and 16 provided critical information to understanding species status for the protocol over time.
Recommendation
These tables should be included in the ForestVeg BE files so that queries can be made to determine whether a given species in tlu_Plants was monitored as sapling, shrub, or herbaceous cover.
See #153 Excel file (tabs for table 15 & 16) for format that is recommended. Note that for Virburnum acerifolium Table 15 does not totally mesh with the narrative text as it indicates that it was added as a shrub in 2014 but the table indicates that year was 2006.
