Comments on plot-design

The following numbers refer to data you really have, but not to data you are going to collect in the future. So, please no potential vegetation-plots!

Number of veg.-plots with non-overlapping area(fact sheet)		Number of veg.-plots observations(fact sheet)
Estimate of existing non-overlapping veg.-plots(fact sheet)		Completeness	100

The following questions refer to the total number of vegetation-plots!

Plot Sizes(fact sheet)

min: m² - max: m²

(Note that only plot sizes up to 2 ha are eligible for GIVD; additional larger plot sizes are only possible in the case of nested-plot series that also contain smaller plots. see 'Criteria for inclusion')

Plot size categories	< 1 m²	1 - 10 m²	10 - 100 m²

Name of the Database:	The title of your database. Please choose a name that is meaningful and understandable in a global context. Potentially accompanied by an acronym. (required field)
Subtitle:(fact sheet)
Optionally, you can provide an explanatory subtitle, which is not considered as part of the proper name of the database and thus is not capitalised. Subtitles are strongly recommended in cases when the proper name does not clearly indicate the scope of the database in terms of geography and and included vegetation types.
