1 Appendix 12.5: Quadrat Data from the National Vegetation Classification Survey 1.1 Introduction 1 This Appendix presents a list of the National Vegetation Classification (NVC) communities identified within the South Kyle site from the survey undertaken in August 2012 (shown in Table ), the details of each quadrat (Table ) and the list of species recorded within each quadrat (Tables a-ag). 2 Table lists the NVC communities and also identifies whether any of these NVC communities are regarded as Ground Water Dependent Terrestrial Ecosystems (GWDTEs) as determined by SEPA Guidance Note 4 (Land Use Planning System: Planning Guidance on Wind Farm Developments).
