This product will follow DRECP-wide agreed standards for detailed vegetation mapping and site quality assessment so the entire area can be uniformly evaluated for its biological integrity, thus providing for consistent and defensible evaluation of siting, mitigation, and landscape level monitoring of its biological values.
