Document the species composition and environmental characteristics of oak stands.
- Sampling technique
- Establish four vegetation plots around each tree, measuring 0.5 m² each, in the four cardinal directions.
- Data collection
- Record all vascular plant species within each plot, using Ellenberg values to infer environmental conditions such as soil moisture and light availability.
