PLOT_ID,"/location/_if[@name=""if subplot""]/then/parent_id/location/sourceaccessioncode","Brad: This is artificial internal database ID; a unique identifier within SALVIAS DB to each plot, within the table plotMetadata."

plot_area_ha,/location/area_m2/_ha_to_m2/value,"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_m,/location/elevation_m/_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,/location/iscultivated/_or/2/_locationnarrative_is_cultivated/locationnarrative/_join/1,"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"

plot_methodology,/location/locationevent/*_id/method/name,

observation_type,/location/locationevent/*_id/method/observationmeasure,"Brad: SALVIAS internal metadata indicating whether the record represents an individual or aggregate observation. Rather than storing, use to decide where to store in VegX.; Aaron: VegX aggregateOrganismObservation table is missing many fields available in individualOrganismObservation, so we're mapping to individualOrganismObservation regardless of observation type"
