Methods used in producing this dataset:
Cacti and Succulents
Each location is recorded with GPS, where also the ID# is assigned
ID#, Cactus height, width, stem diameter
In desert plots:
Five individuals of each species (chosen at random, at least one in each quadrant where possible) are recorded according to the protocol for urban plots (GPS location of each, height, width, stem diameter, shape)
In addition individuals for each species are counted for each quadrant of the plot (that is, four numbers of individuals for each species for each plot are recorded)
Ornamental, non-native species are measured as well.
(NB On initial survey in 2000, some field crews did not treat Sphaeralcea (Globe mallow) as a perennial shrub we recommend it always be included as such on future surveys.
