| Contents Notes |
This method allows for an intensive, expert-based, assessment of the floristic quality of a given wetland site. It can also be used to document the biological condition of the wetland, based on its plant community. The method requires a high degree of plant identification skill to correctly inventory the site. A computer program to enter plant inventory data and calculate WFQA statistics is now available. |
