* To determine the dominants, first rank the spedes by their cover (or mean cover). Then cumulatively sumthe cover (mean cover) of the ranked spedes until 50% of the total for all spedes cover (mean cover) isimmediately exceeded. All spedes contributing to that cumulative total (the dominance threshold number)plus additional species having 20% of the total cover (mean cover) value should be considereddominants and marked with an asterisk.
