Cover-abundance

Measure of plant cover

Cover-abundance is a measure of plant cover, used in phytosociology. It is based on percentages at the top end, but uses abundance estimates for species with a low plant cover. Several scales of cover-abundance are used, e.g. the original 5-point cover scale of Braun-Blanquet or the Domin scale, with finer subdivisions.
