Quadrat Level Browse in Database in unneeded and confusing. #212

In the Quadrat_Data table, there is a Browse field. That field has an entry of F for every row. This is not actually based on data collected in the field and does not correspond to anything mentioned in the protocol. Browse is collected for saplings, shrubs, seedlings, herbs - but that data is stored elsewhere.

This field should be removed from the database if possible. It does not seem to play any role in the data collection, storage or export and could easily be misinterpreted as an observation taken in the field during monitoring.
