Ecology habitat restoration plant order calculator

Calculate species plant orders and total ordered plants with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use species plant orders and total ordered plants to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Species patches [species ID,area m²,approved plants per m²,expected survival fraction]
[["oak",100,0.1,0.8],["grass",50,4,0.9]]
Species plant orders
[["grass",223],["oak",13]]
Total ordered plants
236

Try another scenario

Species patches [species ID,area m²,approved plants per m²,expected survival fraction]
[["oak",120,0.1,0.8],["grass",60,4,0.9]]
Species plant orders
[["grass",267],["oak",15]]
Total ordered plants
282
Calculation method

Calculation method

Species plant orders

ceil(area×approved density/survival); summed by species.

Total ordered plants

Sum rounded-up requirements; survival fractions are supplied assumptions.

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Target patches, approved densities, survival assumptions. Returns Plants by species and replacement reserve. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification.
