ALT A relevé (2 m x 2 m quadrat), which acts as the sampling unit for the plant diversity surveys, in a wet grassland (Fossitt habitat GS4) at Portumna, Co. Galway. These relevés are being taken in all our grassland sites where we will identify the species present and assign the % cover of each species.
