Objectives
         Vegetation: Mt Compass School collected the data, data sheets were designed to record the change in vegetation composition and structure. The information recorded at each quadrat includes: Species present and life stage, The total canopy height, a dominance score, the relative cover/abundance of each species (futher separated in to 3 main strata). There is a plant list for 28 swamps, the swamp pro forma is the same as SAWID.
