DEPC Field Collector

Real problem Merremia. Covers 50%+ of area — thick vines climbing high, smothering everything underneath (trees look buried or dying under green blanket). Big round/heart-shaped leaves, dark green and shiny, with purple lines underneath. Often has white or yellow trumpet flowers. Choose this when it's really taking over.

Still Big Lif Rop, but not as bad yet. Covers less than 30–40% of area. Patches or single vines climbing on edges of forest, roadsides, or gardens — not fully smothering trees. Same big leaves and purple veins, but easier to see the ground or other plants through it.

Thick, natural bush or forest where trees and plants grow close together with full green canopy overhead. No visible Big Lif Rop vines climbing or covering. Everything looks healthy and untouched by this vine.

Forest partly cleared, damaged by cyclone, or old garden land growing back. Trees spaced out, some open sky, maybe young regrowth or small bushes. Might have some weeds, but not thick Big Lif Rop vines smothering things.

Mostly grass, food gardens (taro, yam, etc.), coconut plantations, bare soil after clearing, or open grassy areas. No forest canopy, and no thick vine cover like Big Lif Rop.

Anything that doesn't fit above — dirt road, village area, rocky bare land, river/water, or shadows. Use this only if nothing else matches.
