Structure of the database
Attribute type | Description |
Land cover (LC) | What land cover does the spot indicate. |
Dominant species | The upper canopy layer, or the dominant plant species of grassland. |
Companion species | Other woody and herbaceous plant species and fungi species observed in the patch (efforts should be made to include 10 species with characteristic cover and to include the protected and the invasive species). The methodology for determining companion species is based on a double weighting system: 1. High cover (dominated) species generally have a higher ecological contribution, as is the case in most ecosystem services. Therefore, this is the main consideration. What special species are present in the patch: 2a) protected species 2b) invasive species, species with environmental conversion functions 2c) not typical in a given climate area (curiosities, observations). |
Habitat | Habitat classification of the patch (ÁNÉR 2011). |
Potential vegetation | Such vegetation is likely in the area without anthropogenic impact. |
Naturalness | Assessing the naturalness of the patch; 0 to 5 (natural). |
Soil type | Genetic soil type. |
Estimated soil depth | The average depth of the soil layer in the spot with dm sharpness. |
The physical type of soil | Debris; Coarse sand; Sand; Sandy loam; Adobe; Clay loam; Clay; Clay sand; Sandy clay; Heavy clay; Kotu, peat. |
Landuse | Surface functionality. |
Area | Actual spot size (m2) (automatically calculated). |
Anomalies | Unusual phenomena experienced in the patch is important to mention, e.g. disturbance, degradation, or risk factors. |
Comment | Any relevant property of the patch can be explained, for example, the presence of dead wood is also indicated here. |
Originator | List of people involved in uploading patch data. |
Identifier | Patch ID (automatic). |
