| Table | Field | DB Field Name | Req'd? | Data Type | Misc Flag | List? | Definition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Observation | Submerged Cover | submergedCover | no | Float | n/a | no | Total cover of the submerged layer in percent. Includes rooted or drifting plants that by-and-large remain submerged in the water column or on the aquatic bottom (e.g., pondweed). The focus is on the overall strata arrangement of these aquatic plants. Note that emergent plants life forms in a wetland should be placed in above water strata (e.g., cattail or sedges would be placed in the herb stratum, whereas the duckweed would be in the floating aquatic stratum). |
| Observation | Dominant Stratum | dominantStratum | no | varchar (40) | n/a | closed | Which of the six standard strata is dominant? |
| Observation | Growthform1 Type | growthform1Type | no | varchar (40) | n/a | closed | The predominant growth form? |
| Observation | Growthform2 Type | growthform2Type | no | varchar (40) | n/a | closed | The second-most predominant growthform? |
| Observation | Growthform3 Type | growthform3Type | no | varchar (40) | n/a | closed | The third-most predominant growthform |
| Observation | Growthform1 Cover | growthform1Cover | no | Float | n/a | no | Total cover of the predominant growthform? |
| Observation | Growthform2 Cover | growthform2Cover | no | Float | n/a | no | Total cover of the second-most predominant growthform? |
| Observation | Growthform3 Cover | growthform3Cover | no | Float | n/a | no | Total cover of the third-most predominant growthform? |
| Observation | Total Cover | totalCover | no | Float | n/a | no | The total cover, in percent, of all vegetation on the plot. |
| Observation | Observation Accession Code | accessionCode | no | varchar (100) | n/a | no | Code that uniquely references this record, allowing reference to this record for this version of this database. Better than a primary key, which is automatically generated by a database and not globally unique. VegBank Accession codes are only generated by VegBank, and therefore data integrity can be guaranteed, unlike with a primary key (number). |
