Definition of Vegetation Strata:
Four Vegetation Strata:
Tree stratum - Consists of woody plants, excluding vines, 3 in.
(7.6 cm) or more in diameter at breast height (DBH),
regardless of height.
Sapling/shrub stratum - Consists of woody plants, excluding
vines, less than 3 in. DBH and greater than 3.28 ft(7 m) tall.
Herb stratum - Consists of all herbaceous (non-woody) plants,
regardless of size, and all other plants less than 3.28 ft tall.
Woody vines - Consists of all woody vines greater than 3.28 ft
in height.
Five Vegetation Strata:
Tree - Woody plants, excluding woody vines, approximately 20
ft(6 m) or more in height and 3 in. (7.6 cm) or larger in
diameter at breast height (DBH).
Sapling stratum - Consists of woody plants, excluding woody
vines, approximately 20 ft(6 m) or more in height and less
than 3 in. (7.6 cm) DBH.
Shrub stratum - Consists of woody plants, excluding woody
vines, approximately 3 to 20 ft(1 to 6 m) in height.
Herb stratum - Consists of all herbaceous (non-woody) plants,
including herbaceous vines, regardless of size, and woody
species, except woody vines, less than approximately 3 ft(1
m) in height.
Woody vines - Consists of all woody vines, regardless of
height.

Definition of Vegetation Strata:
Four Vegetation Strata:
Tree stratum - Consists of woody plants, excluding vines, 3 in.
(7.6 cm) or more in diameter at breast height (DBH),
regardless of height.
Sapling/shrub stratum - Consists of woody plants, excluding
vines, less than 3 in. DBH and greater than 3.28 ft(7 m) tall.
Herb stratum - Consists of all herbaceous (non-woody) plants,
regardless of size, and all other plants less than 3.28 ft tall.
Woody vines - Consists of all woody vines greater than 3.28 ft
in height.
Five Vegetation Strata:
Tree - Woody plants, excluding woody vines, approximately 20
ft(6 m) or more in height and 3 in. (7.6 cm) or larger in
diameter at breast height (DBH).
Sapling stratum - Consists of woody plants, excluding woody
vines, approximately 20 ft(6 m) or more in height and less
than 3 in. (7.6 cm) DBH.
Shrub stratum - Consists of woody plants, excluding woody
vines, approximately 3 to 20 ft(1 to 6 m) in height.
Herb stratum - Consists of all herbaceous (non-woody) plants,
including herbaceous vines, regardless of size, and woody
species, except woody vines, less than approximately 3 ft(1
m) in height.
Woody vines - Consists of all woody vines, regardless of
height.
