How to record?

The whole university has been separated into 21 regions. Please choose a region and record all the plants you found. When you doing the field work, please use your smartphone to take a clear photo of the leaves, flower (if applicable), and the whole plant (if possible) and record the following information:

1. Region (Please refer to the map https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2sWGNqBsHj5V2twV3gzbEtWTXc/view?usp=sharing )
2. Exotic or Native? (Choose one, or if you don't know just leave it "NA" first and change it after someone identified it)
3. Plant life stage (pollen/seed/seedling/juvenile/adult)
4. Canopy Height (0.3-2m/2-5m/5-12m/12-25m/>25m)
5. Did you note any insect damage from herbivores on the plant? (Yes, please describe/No)
6. Insect presence (If you see insects, please record what it is doing - eating/living/travelling across)
7. Disturbance type (None/Fire/Grazed/Human/Structure/Road/Trail/Edge/Other)
8. Habitat disturbance (Any description about the disturbance)

Reminder:
No need to complete a region in one time. Take your time and record all the information needed.
