In groundlayer tabledivide vegetation cover by total cover to obtain the parameter groundcover -green.
Concatenate groundlayer with groundlayercharacteristic at the site-sitevisit level, check that total cover adds to 100%. This new table will be called tern_groundlayer.
Ingest groundlayerobservation table separately as tern_groundlayerobservation. Check update from Dale, if values are still zero then do not use them to calculate rel. abudance and make note on the methods that this are species present in very low that values that equal 0 are actually 0.01 as per manual, then add total. Create relative species abundace table, that is the division of each species cover by the total, create parameter for total spp cover.
For both new tables add new column for sample size (n = 5) and quadrat size (1m^2).
