Information from the workshop

Used for

Step

Which species do they know & collect?

> Checking the plant list

2

From which ET within the study area?

> Presence/absence of species within ET

3

Expected occurrence at the habitats (ordinal scale: 1–4, corresponding to the frequency with which the species is expected to occur there)

> Weighting presence/absence for representation of the frequency with which the species occur there

4

The (subjective) value of these species to them (ordinal scale: 1-4)

> Weighting cumulative frequencies within one ET for assessing specific value of ET
