Summary
Vegetation and ‘ōhi‘a mortality data collected during the 2016 survey of lower Puna District, Hawai`i. Data were collected at points along rural highways, secondary roads and residential streets where trained observers recorded the vegetation within a 50 m radius using the Jacobi (1989) rapid assessment. This description included tree crown cover, tree height, tree species composition, and ground cover or understory type. In addition, the proportion of dead ‘ōhi‘a was estimated, in 5% intervals, for each quarter of the station starting with the NE quadrant and proceeding counter clockwise.
