BioCondition assessments

BioCondition assessments help you to understand the capacity of an area to support the species that are expected to occur there.

Practically speaking, they provide a benchmark condition for ongoing landscape monitoring and to record changes over time. They can also be used to assess and monitor the health of particular vegetation patches.
