Big data for forecasting the impacts of global change on plant communities (2017, background): “Aggregating plot data from multiple sources raises a number of challenges, including measurement protocol and plot size differences (Otypková & Chytry, 2006), taxonomic name resolution (Cayuela et al. , 2012), and data ownership agreements (Zimmerman, 2008).”
The Rengen Grassland Experiment: Effect of Soil Chemical Properties on Biomass Production, Plant Species Composition and Species Richness (2010, methodology): “nutrients applied (Crawley et al. 2005); the results of analyses may differ if plots of different areas are incorporated in the analysis ( Otýpkova and Chytrý 2006; Auestad et al. 2008).”
A flexible multi-scale approach for standardised recording of plant species richness patterns (2009, background): “Regarding botanical diversity, spatial scale also affects co-occurrence patterns (e.g. Otýpková and Chytrý, 2006), species turnover along abiotic and land-use gradients (e.g. Reed et al., 1993; Spiegelberger et al., 2006), spatial patterns of diversity metrics (e.g. Kallimanis et al., 2008),…”
Plant names in vegetation databases – a neglected source of bias (2010, background): “…et al. 2005), non-random sampling (e.g. Botta-Dukát et al. 2007; Roleček et al. 2007), varying completeness of relevés (e.g. Chytrý 2001) or varying plot sizes and their effect on the perception of differences in floristic composition (e.g. Otýpková & Chytrý 2006; Dengler et al. 2009).”
EcoVeg: a new approach to vegetation description and classification (2014, background): “Studies in Europe have found that vegetation classification analyses are confounded when plots of different sizes are included, because measures of richness and constancy are not comparable (Chytrý 2001, Chytrý and Otýpková 2003, Otýpková and Chytrý 2006, Dengler et al. 2009).”
