Additional Factors
Pull in historic data to determine changes in vegetation, especially wetlands– Availability of historic aerial photos, landuse,
studies on pre-settlement vegetation
Additional data on threats – mining, impacts on streams and wetlands
Additional data on rare species and communities, especially indicator species
