LAURA is a long-term resurvey database documenting changes in forest vegetation across southwestern Poland, based on 842 relevés from 409 plots revisited after an average of 35 years. doi.org/10.3897/VCS.15…

Using ordinal instead of percent cover estimates in vegetation plots can systematically bias biodiversity indices and distort community rankings, especially with coarse scales like Hult-Sernander-Du Rietz. doi.org/10.3897/VCS.14…

Does the use of ordinal cover scales bias biodiversity metrics? 🔗 vcs.pensoft.net/news/854 Vegetation Science Blog IAVS
