Vegetation belt transects
|
Woody vegetation in the form of tree and shrub cover was quantified along three 1km x 10m belt transects at each of the three proposed mining sites. The coordinates of the starting point and direction of the transects as determined by Global Positioning System (GPS) were as follows:
