Question:
I am trying to apply the ERICA Tool to plants. If a plant, such as the Marsh Marigold, has a large leave on top of the stem - what dimensions should be used?
Answer:
To be honest perhaps the plant geometries have not been well thoughout out to date. The grass geometry in the ERICA Tool is taken from the ICRP Wild Grass RAP and is a 'grass spike'. If you are concerned that the default plant may not adequately represent the species you want to assess then have a play with the create organism function of Tier 2 or 3: create an organism to represent your marigold leaf and compare DCC values to the default grass. We'd be interested to hear what you find.
