This paper presents the details of the EDGG sampling methodology and its underlying
rationales. The methodology has been applied during EDGG Research Expeditions and …

Long-term experiments are essential in understanding the ecological consequences of
global land use and climate change. Further, it is well established that longterm data sets …

Questions How to map floristic variation in a patterned fen in an ecologically meaningfully
way? Can plant communities be delineated with species data generalized into plant …

Questions How does the spatial configuration of sampling units influence recorded plant
species richness values at small spatial scales? What are the consequences of these …

Aims Current rates of biodiversity loss do not allow for inefficient monitoring. Optimized
monitoring maximizes the ratio between information and sampling effort (ie, time and costs) …

Determining adequate sample size (ASS) and minimum plot size (MPS) are two
fundamental issues in urban vegetation investigations. To estimate the ASS and MPS of …

Standardized data on large‐scale and long‐term patterns of species richness are critical for
understanding the consequences of natural and anthropogenic changes in the environment …

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are widely recognized for their support of
biodiversity conservation and forest restoration in tropical developing countries. In the …

The analysis of census data aggregated by administrative units introduces a statistical bias
known as the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP). Previous researches have mostly …

Floristic inventories are an essential part of basic and applied research in botany. Despite
their long history, floristic research is still carried out following non-objective (preferential) …
