Protection and status
Conservation status belongs to the official types below this one, by bioregion. Which listed communities may include patches of it comes from each listing's advice, read and checked by a person: not yet extracted (coming). A patch is shown as a listed community only when a source says it meets the listing.

How it's doing
Not yet assessed. PLOT gives a level only with a published method. Where a system publishes a benchmark for a type (a description of a good example), it is shown here as what it could be, never as a score. Benchmarks linked as sources (coming)
