With this option for each species vegetation layers can be combined into one layer with the following formula:

 

 C = A + (100 – A) * B / 100

 

where C = summed cover in percentages, A = percentages cover in  of a species in layer A and B = the percentage cover of the same species in layer B. It is assumed that the species is randomly distributed in the plot.

 

 

By careful! As with many other functions in Turboveg this option converts the data irreversible. It is therefore recommended to create a backup first!
