  7. Standard methodologies presently supported in NVS Express User Interface (UI): • Recce inventory (Hurst & Allen 2007) • Permanent plot method (Hurst & Allen 2007) presently supported in the Main NVS database UI: • EBEX21 (Richardson et al. 2004) • Carbon Monitoring System or LUCAS (Payton et al. 2004) examples of other standard methods: • Wraight 20 x 20m quadrat (Wiser & Rose 1997) • Scott height frequency (Wiser & Rose 1997)

  8. Recce inventory All vegetation types as per Hurst & Allen 2007

  9. Permanent Plot method • Permanent 20 x 20m plots as per Hurst & Allen 2007

  10. What other methods should be able to be entered via NVS Express?
