| The
transect diagram shows the dominant plant species (% cover) in each quadrat along the
heathland belt transect. Quadrats of 0.5 m2 were recorded every 2 metres along the transect line. Where a moss was the
dominant species in a quadrat, the dominant flowering plant(s) have also been included to
give a better visual representation of the quadrat. The
heights of the plants are to scale, except for the mosses, many of which are very small,
as well as some of the plants in sections 5 and 9 which were too tall to fit into a scale
suitable for the rest of the transect. Where a plant is not drawn to scale, the stem is
represented by a dashed line and the actual height of the plants is indicated alongside.
The heights represented in the transect are the maximum height attained by the dominant
species within each quadrat. |
