The monitoring methods of vegetation differ due to national frameworks of the project partners.
To steer up discussion and exchange we have translated the approach used in the German sites as introduced during workshop 2007 in Weissenhäuser Strand. This method is not the national approach for the regular habitat monitoring of Natura 2000 sites but a concept to verify changes of structure and general vegetation features due to management changes.
Please have a look on the description of the method, divided in describing text, additional tables and maps and an annex of photo documentation of the 11 sites in Germany.
We are looking forward to any feedback and comment.
