HABITAT NOTES

A short description of the different habitat types in each section is useful for the transect records. It is also useful to have a short list of the plant species which are most abundant in each section. Particular attention should be given to butterfly food plants, e.g., milkweeds, nettle, or violets, and popular nectar sources such as dogbane, thistles, or teasels. The aim of these records is not to acquire quantitative information on the abundance of plants but to help, in a general way, with the interpretation of results.
