1. The existing field practice for estimating the percentage of canopy cover is to visually assess the canopy cover using a hard copy reference sheet, with black and white images showing incremental area increases of 10%; from entirely white (0%) to entirely black (100%). %Cover was designed to be a simple digital application of an established scientific method for the measurement and monitoring of leaf canopy cover.
2. It utilises standard smart phone technology (such as camera, GPS, date/time) to apply existing assessment techniques, used by environmental professionals, students and amateurs, in the ecological assessment of vegetation cover; i. e. the amount of canopy leaf cover versus leaf gap, above a nominated point along a transect or under an individual tree.
3. The amount of leaf cover is expressed as a percentage value and is a commonly used metric in the environmental monitoring, classification and condition assessment of vegetation communities.
4. Smartphone technology provides a platform for the collection and analysis of environmental monitoring data, therefore minimising the amount of specialised field equipment.
5. %Cover is an environmental application designed for use on iOS devices.
