A hole or planned spot within a site where one tree individual is planted. A urn:uuid: node with a WGS84 point (wgs84:lat, wgs84:long), created by site preparation, bound to at most one tree.

Properties

Property Required Repeatable Value Message
hole photograph yes yes Evidence item Every prepared hole is photographed.
lat yes no decimal A planting position has exactly one WGS84 latitude.
left unplanted, reason no no string
location accuracy in metres no no decimal A planting position’s accuracy, when given, is one positive number of metres.
long yes no decimal A planting position has exactly one WGS84 longitude.
position at site yes no Site A planting position belongs to exactly one site.

Rules

  • A planting position at a site requires the landowner agreement to be signed, or agreed verbally where the project design accepts that for the site’s type (ADR-0030), in force when the preparation that made it was observed; a position no preparation record made has no such time and fails: the agreement is a precondition of putting a tree in the ground (decision register D-3.5, ADR-0019).
  • A planting position holds at most one tree individual, across all planting records; a tree withdrawn as a recording error frees it (ADR-0027).
  • A planting position lies within 0.02 degrees (about two kilometres) of its site’s point in force when the preparation that made it was observed: the latest site location record’s point by then, else the registration’s; a position no preparation made is held to the site’s current point. No site polygon is available for a containment test (ADR-0021).
  • A planting position may be created only at a site whose latest assessment determination is suitable or suitable with conditions (ADR-0006).
  • A position recorded as left unplanted holds no tree.
  • Instance data must not use the standard’s namespace https://nova.org.za/ncgs/ (ADR-0002: instances are urn:uuid: IRIs).
