Request to Explain/define boundaries
"dry open land with 'special' vegetation" - What does special mean in this context?
Discussion
Australia:
Agree, it is unclear. Could relate to vegetation which is peculiar to an area which may or may not have economic significance.
US - Think that "Special" here means with vegetation (except agricultural or forestry). The next item says without significant vegetation.
Decision
16/1/00 ) - Incorporating US Interpretation, Explanatory note 52900 should be changed to read:
This subclass includes:
- wet open land, I.e. non-wooded sites either partially, temporarily or permanently water-logged
- dry open land with vegetation (except agricultural or forestry)
- open land without, or with insignificant, vegetation cover
- land covered by surface water
