• Assessing functional diversity in the field - methodology matters! (2007, background): “Cover classes (e.g. Braun-Blanquet 1932) or ranking can be used, but as the class values are not directly related to cover, this may limit their applicability (Podani 2006).”
• Cover plus: ways of measuring plant canopies and the terms used for them (2011, background): “The problems with these scales are that: (a) they generally mix different measures of abundance, (b) the estimations of density and cover are in practice always subjective, (c) the reduction to a small number of categories cannot increase the amount of information, but will lose it (contra Hanley 19”
