APPENDIX 9.2          PLANT SPECIES LIST.

The DAFOR scale is used to indicate abundance of species: D – dominant, A – abundant, F – frequent, O – occasional, R — rare. ‘L’ indicates a local rather than widespread distribution, e g OLA would be used to describe a species that was found occasionally throughout the survey site, but was abundant in one or two areas.

The areas on the site are represented as follows:

D	Rough grassland	H	Tall ruderal vegetation
E	Short turf	I	Severn bankside trees
F	Sandy bank	J	Recreation ground
G	Scrub/grassland mosaic

U represents species that are uncommon in Worcestershire
