So, if a shrub is really a conglomeration of shrubs, is it still a shrub? And what if I spend an hour seeking a snag and find none, is it worth more time to seek snags in the other three quadrants? And, if my 5 meter transect is through vegetation so thick that I have to toss my measuring tape over the shrubs and then disappears into the poison oak, how do I count plants without trampling them?
Such are the ponderings of a vegetation sampler.
Meanwhile, Wrentit YW/WS came in close to see what I was doing, and was not impressed. He expressed his disgust by churring.
