npe_change_native_status {neonPlantEcology}

Change the native status code for a particular taxon at a particular site

Description

Sometimes even though a particular species identity is not known, the end user can still determine its native status. For example, maybe the taxon was identified to the genus level, and the local flora confirms that all plants in that genus are native at that particular site. This function allows for post-hoc modification of the native status code for cases like this.
