NOTES:

DEFINITION OF DENSITIES

Grasses & Groundcovers – select five 1m x 1m square areas and assess the distribution of the plant across this area. Average out the density from each square to give an overall density rating.

Trees, Shrubs & Vines – Walk through a representative area of the site being surveyed and assess the distribution of the plant across this area to give a density rating.

SCATTERED / LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH
1% -10%
One to very few scattered weed plants are present in the area being surveyed. / >10% to 25%
A few plants or patches are present. / >25% to 75%
Ranging from quite a few scattered plants or patches to a lot of plants and/or large patches throughout the area. / >75% to 100%
If most to almost all of the area is covered by the weed species with little or no other vegetation present.

DEFINITION OF INFESTATED AREA

The total area of land occupied by one weed species within the survey area. This is defined by an estimation of the perimeter of the canopy cover of the plants, excluding areas that are not infested. Generally, the smallest unit recorded is 1 square metre.

EXAMPLE
(Scale 1:100) 100m2 Block

TOTAL AREA = 3m2 TOTAL AREA =12m2 TOTAL AREA = 38m2 TOTAL AREA = 85m2
