    The file contains the vegetation types and the modified list of diagnostic species (based on Delarze et al. (2015). The numbers indicate the weight of a species in the particular vegetation type for the calculation of the TypoCH score: 1) accompanying species -> 1 point 2) dominant accompanying species (if >10% cover in the plot) -> 2 points 3) character species -> 4 points 4) dominant character species (if >10% cover in the plot) -> 8 points
