COMMENTS:
2
is this the key attribute or isd structure the key attribute. Reccritment of what? all layers or one in paticular?
3
is this also related to the number of sites or % area of vegetation with no, some or most layers present. How many layers would we expect to see?
4
can this be described or can we capture this by describing more natural condition of the vegetation in terms of structure and composition. eg Are certain plants encouraged or discourages by fire?
