Abstract:
Vegetation sampling typically involves the use of quadrats to estimate species cover abundance. Such surveys do not generally record small-scale vegetation patch structure at sub-quadrat scales. Here we test a simple method to quantify patch structure that complements conventional techniques. We compare the two methods, and analyse metrics derived from small-scale patch surveys with environment/management data.
Keywords:
environmental variables; multi-variate analysis; patch metrics; quadrats; small-scale; structural patterns
