Czech National Phytosociological Database: basic statistics ofthe available vegetation-plot data (2003, background): “Observer bias in estimating cover may also be serious (Lepš & Hadincová 1992, Klimeš et al. 2001).”
A flexible multi-scale approach for standardised recording of plant species richness patterns (2009, background): “…high: Dolnik (2003) needed up to 14 h for 900 m2 plots in nemoral forests (including non-vascular plants and one series of nested subplots), and Klimeš et al. (2001) reported that after 3 h, an experienced researcher had only found 85% of the vascular plant species occurring on 4 m2 of a…”
Effects of sampling teams and estimation methods on the assessment of plant cover (2003, background): “…1944; Lamacraft 1978; Sykes et al. 1983; Gotfryd & Hansell 1985; Nilsson & Nilsson 1985; Kirby et al. 1986; West & Hatton 1990; Lepš & Hadincová 1992; Rich & Woodruff 1992; Rich & Smith 1996; Klimeš et al. 2001), though Oredsson (2000) reported negligible observer error compared to other errors.”
The effects of mowing and fertilization on carbohydrate reserves and regrowth of grasses: do they promote plant coexistence in species-rich meadows? (2001, methodology): “[143] For this study we selected species-rich meadows in the Bı́lé Karpaty Mts., SE Czech Republic, hosting up to 75 species of vascular plants per m2 and 99 species per 4 m2 (Klimeš et al., 2001).”
Quantifying the relevance of intraspecific trait variability for functional diversity (2011, unknown): “This suggests higher differentiation in resource acquisition patterns generally linked to LDMC (Cornelissen et al. 2003), which could be explained by a more heterogeneous, patchy, resource availability in the dry site (Klimeš et al. 2001).”
Vegetation of the Czech Republic: diversity, ecology, history and dynamics (2012, background): “Observations of 13 and 44 vascular plant species per 0.004 and 0.25 m2 (Klimeš et al. 2001) and of 105, 116 and 131 vascular plant species per 16, 25 and 49 m2, respectively (Otýpková in Wilson et al. 2012), all from the Čertoryje National Nature Reserve in the south-western part of the Bílé…”
Effects of sampling time, species richness and observer on the exhaustiveness of plant censuses (2006, background): “…demonstrated that observers overlook and/or misidentify a significant proportion of the species present (Nilsson & Nilsson 1985; McCune et al. 1997; Klimeš et al. 2001; Scott & Hallam 2002) and that this proportion may depend on the area that is sampled (Nilsson & Nilsson 1985; Klimeš et al. 2001).”
