PlantDiversity

Observing herbaceous plants within your micro-garden

Competition is extremely important in forest tree seedlings' early survival and growth. That is why we prepared a new OPTIONAL form. With the help of the PlantDiversity form, you can record the number of herbaceous species you can see within the blocks, take photos of the observed species, and estimate their coverage. 

Filling out the form does not take much time. You can also submit data on herbaceous plants whenever you observe your micro-garden. We ask you to fill out the form at least twice during the growing season: once at the end of spring (in May/June) and once at the end of summer (in August/September). Of course, if you have time and see changes in species diversity within your garden, you can record your observations more frequently!
