Hi All,
I'm working on a field survey form for the NASC, and have run into a bit of a problem. I'd like for surveyors to be able to select the habitat type of a population from a list of habitat types on the form. Problem is, I've never visited the east coast, and thus only have a vague idea of the various habitat types one might find Sarracenia growing in. Could those of you who are more familiar with Sarracenia habitats come up with some kind of list for me? Examples might be "Sphagnum bog" or "Evergreen dwarf shrubland". Something similar to the physiognomic subclass level of the USGS-NPS vegetation mapping program, for those of you who are familiar with it.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
