 Goals

Meeting with Sally and Kim

 Discussion topics

Protocols team meeting:

• Are interventions defined in this protocol generic enough that other protocols also model interventions this way?

  • intervention type - debris removal

  • geometry - spatial extent of the intervention

  • attributes

    • general comment

    • initial or follow-up

    • area or length of coverage

    • type of debris

    • weight of debris

• There are surveys in appendix 1. On-ground interventions. Are these interventions despite being surveys? Or are they surveys performed either before or after some intervention has taken place?

  • water quality survey

  • water distribution survey

  • soil testing

  • skills and knowledge survey

  • plant survival survey

  • pest animal survey

  • flora survey

  • fauna survey

  • farm management survey

• Some other business/management type activities are listed as interventions in appendix 1, e.g.,

  • obtaining relevant approvals

  • negotiating with the community, landholders, farmers, traditional owner groups, agriculture industry groups, etc.

Meeting notes:

Interventions

Colour coded - what is an intervention and what is not

Flora and fauna surveys shouldn’t be part of interventions

synonyms

• growth stage - all the same

• outcrop lithology and surface strew lithology are the same

• growth form is the same across the modules

  • keep dominant growth form

• habitat description - free text and is the same

• voucher specimen - boolean

• voucher specimen id - barcode or QR

• plant tissue vouchering - call it plant tissue id

• life stage - same across all modules

  • fauna - it’s referred to as age class

• vegetation health - same across all modules

• plant status - same across all modules

• in-canopy sky - same across all modules

• number of individuals - targeted survey and vertebrate fauna - same

  • recruitment module - sapling and seedling count - tally count system

• plant height - across all modules

• sex - same across all modules

• plant species in flower - keep it as is

Provide list to protocols team with what names we are using for observable properties and attributes once we have fixed everything
