The Plants Dashboard shows planting site statistics and Observation metrics for each Planting Site. The data in the dashboard is based on the planting status and the completed Observations of the Planting Site.
What is shown in the dashboard will change as the planting status of Planting Sites change and as areas of the sites are monitored through Observations. The dashboard will show limited data for Planting Sites which have not yet had any plants allocated to them. The dashboard will show plant and species data once Planting Sites have had plants allocated to them. More data will be shown after Observation data has been recorded for the Planting Site. Additionally, some data is dependent on Observations having been completed for all of the Subzones within a Zone in the Planting Site, and some data is dependent on permanent plots being monitored within an Observation.
Access the Plants Dashboard using the "Dashboard" link in the left navigation.
Access Dashboard in the navigation panel
At the top of the dashboard, select the Planting Site for which you would like to see site statistics and Observation metrics.
The Total Planting Area in hectares (ha) for the selected Planting Site is shown, along with Observation(s) and the number of hectares that the data in the dashboard represents. In the dashboard, Observations are referenced by the dates they were completed.

The full dashboard includes all of the sections below.
Plants and Species Statistics
This section shows data as soon as plants are allocated to the Planting Site.
Plants and Species Statistics section
Total Plants Planted: Total number of plants reported as planted in the Planting Site as of the latest Inventory withdrawal
Total Species Planted: Total number of species reported as planted in the Planting Site as of the latest Inventory withdrawal
Planted Species: Chart shows the percentages of each of the species planted in the Planting Site. The top five species are named in the chart, and additional species are included in "Other Species".
Species Categories: Percentages of total plants planted for which the species has been marked as Rare or Endangered
Mortality Rate
This section shows data as soon as Observations, that include permanent monitoring plots within one or more zones within the Planting Site, have been completed. The data is based on what's observed in permanent plots in all Observations, up until the latest Observation.
Mortality Rate section
Mortality Rate: Percentage based on the number of plants that were observed as dead within the permanent plots within the zones that were observed in all Observations.
Zone Mortality: The zones with the highest and lowest mortality rates, among the zones that were observed in all Observations, are shown. If only one zone was observed that included a permanent plot, there will not be data for the "lowest" zone.
Species Mortality: The species with the highest and lowest mortality rates, among the zones that were observed in all Observations, are shown. If only one species was observed within a zone that included a permanent plot, there will not be data for the "lowest" species.
Mortality Breakdown: Chart shows the numbers of plants recorded as live and dead in permanent plots per species within each zone that was observed in all Observations. "Other" species observed do not appear in the chart unless/until they are associated with species in the Species list. To learn more about adding species to the Species list, visit Adding Species To Your List.
Planting Density
This section includes observed density, as of the latest Observation, as well as the status of "Planting Complete" of the Zones within the Planting Site.
Planting Density section
Planting Complete: The area in hectares and the percentage of the Planting Site that have been marked as "Planting Complete", and the progress toward the target, which is the total hectares of the Planting Site
Observed Density: Density, reflected in plants per hectare, based on the number of plants observed within all of the Zones that were observed at least once within the latest Observation.
Observed Density vs. Target Density: Observed Density compared to the Target Density that is associated with each Zone that has been observed at least once in the latest Observation. The Target Density is set when the Planting Site is set up by an Administrator. For more information about setting the Target Density for a Zone, visit Creating A Planting Site.
Zone Trends
This section shows trend lines for the observed planted hectares and the mortality rates from all Observations.
Zone Trends section
Plants per Ha: Chart shows the trend of the numbers of plants per hectare (ha), as observed within all Observations, and includes a visualization of the standard deviation.
Mortality Rate: Chart shows the trend of the percentages of plants that were recorded as dead in permanent plots within all Observations
Site Map
This section shows a map of the Planting Site, including the Mortality Rates and Observation Recency per zone.
Site Map section
Using the legend, you can view the map by Zones or Subzones, and with or without the Mortality Rate and Observation Recency indicators.
