plot_area_ha,/*_id/location/area,"Brad: Area in hectares. Is there any way to store units?; Aaron: VegX plot area annotation says ""Total area of the plot in square meters."" so units are fixed"

Elev,/*_id/location/elevation/_alt/1,Brad: Mean elevation in meters. This is a constrained decimal value; is there no place for this in VegX other than verbatimElevation? Check with Nick.

Locality_Description,/*_id/location/locationnarrative,"Brad: No; this is free text description of locality where plot was situated, same as for DwC. Not a description of vegetation. Most likely='namedPlace.placeDescription' in VB; not sure about VX, again need to ask Nick where locality descriptions live in VX"
