Would Land/Dirt that is Just Left Alone Be Counted?

EBOM-2009 SSc5:Site Development—Protect or Restore Open Habitat
posted by  Michelle Bracewell-Musson  on 

I have been wondering if land that is completely left alone, not watered, without any vegetation other than what one would find on cleared desert land, would count?

I am trying to understand how to account for native trees. I understand that we do not count the area of the canopy, but what is at ground level.

Hi, Need your suggestion and expertise on this inquiry? We do have a land which we manage and maintain, this land is covered with native vegetation and is not within the project LEED boundary.

Is a wood deck part of the "building footprint"?

The deck is not under a roof overhang. It is raised above the ground a foot or so, and I believe there is grass underneath.

Does installing a vertical wall in building facade or interior contribute to this credit? I assume that doing so will also promoting biodiversity.

We recently recieved our project review for a property. Initially, we attempted to claim a retention pond as an on-site protected land.
