Table 2. Three data sets used to rank plant species’ habitat specialization.
Data were collected between 2004 and 2012 with plot size ranging from 400–1000 m2.
| Study | Year | Plot Size | Island | Total | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hawaiʻi | Maui | Molokai | ||||
| NPS I&M Vegetation Mapping Inventory | 2005–2011 | 400 m2 | 461* | 179 | 108 | 748 |
| NPS I&M Plant Community Monitoring | 2010–2012 | 1000 m2 | 102 | 60 | 30 | 192 |
| USGS BRD Palila Habitat Survey | 2004–2005 | 400 m2 | 79 | 79 | ||
| Total | 642 | 239 | 138 | 1019 | ||
*172 of these plots are 700m2 legacy plots from when Hawaiʻi Volcanoes NP acquired the Kahuku Unit [57].
