Ground Cover - Grasses
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
"Native perennial grass cover (%): 12."
Projected foliage cover of native perennial grasses within five systematically placed 1 x 1 m quadrats along a 100 m transect.
Empirical reference state for native perennial grass cover within dry woodland communities of the Brigalow Belt and Southern Queensland.
The cited source explicitly identifies the value in a reference-site context for temperate dry woodlands under production forestry.
