LTEM - Cover measurements within vegetation plots
Roland C and Roland CA. 1993. LTEM - Cover measurements within vegetation plots. Roland, Carl
The community composition and dominance of the ground level vegetation was recorded by the technicians who installed the plots in 1992-3. The methods used were to estimate the cover of the ground surface for each species in a set of twelve 1 m2 quadrats. Percent cover of the ground surface by shrubs was estimated in four 4 m2 quadrats in each plot.. There are serious problems with the use of this methodology for long term monitoring, relating to the potential for large differences among observers.
