APPENDIX A. SPECIES LIST, INCLUDING ABUNDANCE EXPRESSED AS PERCENTAGE FREQUENCY, 1996-98
Percentage frequency = the percentage of the total number of quadrats sampled over the whole site which contain the species. For example, a percentage frequency of 100%, means that the species was found in all quadrats sampled. A + sign indicates that the species was seen on the site, but was not found in any of the quadrats sampled. Characteristic heath species are in bold print
