Benchmark Value
Scoring Curve
The scoring engine could not generate a curve for this benchmark context. The primary form is Point, but the benchmark data may be missing required fields (e.g., optimal range bounds for an OptimalRange benchmark). This is typically a data quality issue in the benchmark pipeline.
Evidence & Context
"Medium to Small Tufted Graminoid. 18. 40% MTG."
Summed projected foliage cover of native Medium to Small Tufted Graminoids (MTG) within a standard 0.1 hectare plot assessment.
Authoritative state government bioregional benchmark value for the dominant grass component in Plains Grassy Woodlands within the Goldfields bioregion of Victoria.
The cited source explicitly identifies the value in a reference-site context for temperate dry woodlands under production forestry.
