Abstract

We introduce a methodology developed for surveying high value biotic resources typical of urban parks and natural areas. Procedures include (1) mapping vegetation using a technique for recognizing separate vegetation units or entities referred to as “entitation”, (2) establishing permanent camera stations for studying change, and (3) classifying the vegetation using a system derived from the life-forms of the plants. We emphasize cost-efficient techniques based on vegetation structure or physiognomy, and we discuss uses of vegetation maps and photographs for public presentations, planning quantitative sampling, and studying habitat change.
