benchmark value of this indicator is 0%

(e)  crown cover from plants in the mid-storey layer provided by non-native plants (as a percentage);                  The benchmark value of this indicator is 0%

(f)  ground cover from sub-category A1, A2 and A3 plants as a proportion of total ground cover from category A plants  The benchmark value of this indicator is 100%

(g)  ground cover from sub-category A4 and A5 plants as a proportion of total ground cover from category A plants.     The benchmark value of this indicator is 0%

(h)  sub-indicators for native species richness index—number of native species of each of the following life forms:    Using the data obtained from the point intercept method, the quadrat method and the plot survey method, for each survey plot tally the number of native species by life form to create a separate value for each sub-indicator
         a. tree;
         b.   shrub;
         c.    vine;
         d.    grass;
         e.    herbaceous vascular plant species other than grasses

Step 8—Calculation of the benchmark values of the indicators
  For each indicator and sub-indicator mentioned in the table in step 6, the benchmark value of the indicator or sub-indicator is:
 (a) if there are 3 survey plots—the mean of the values of the indicator or sub-indicator calculated in step 6 for the survey plots; or
 (b) if there are more than 3 survey plots—the median of the values of the indicator or sub-indicator for the survey plots.
