"Using the two different size plots helps for detecting
differences in frequency in my
treatments when a difference is detectable in one plot size
but not
another for certain species...........I also question the
accuracy/utility of cover "estimates", whereas a point
method records plants that are actually hit by a pin or the
nearest plant to the pin."
****************************************************************
Sorry for butting in, but I agree.  Point methods are
definitely more objective, even if they take significantly
more time.  I like them because there has to be some kind of
species identification on each contact made.  Also, smaller
species might get overlooked with visual cover estimates,
but will be accounted for with point-contact surveys.

Stephen--thanks for listing the citations for the rest of
us!  Just out of curiosity, what are your treatments?
