What we describe
Plants
Documented names, expected assemblages, and unresolved records — each kept to its evidence type.
Soils
Modelled attributes where no pit exists. Observed pits will sit beside the model, not replace the label.
Vegetation
What the mapping says is there, and what a walkover has not yet confirmed.
Regional Ecosystems
Remnant RE intersecting the place geometry — not an envelope of the neighbourhood.
