1. Vegetation and Structural Habitat<br />
VI. Plant condition<br />
Guidance: The overall condition of the plant community can be an indication of disturbance and can be evaluated by<br />
observing dead or dying vegetation, chlorotic (yellowing or bleaching) or spindly growth, and damage caused by insects. Often<br />
herbaceous vegetation and tree seedlings will exhibit chronic conditions before more mature vegetation.<br />
Careful attention should be given to seasonality effects on plant communities.<br />
