Example of the 20-cm wide and variable length plots placed to measure LFA soil surface indicators. These plots were located on interpatches>40 cm along the line-intercept transect. In ten of these plots, 11 soil, type of vegetation and litter cover indicators were recorded to estimate Infiltration, Nutrient Recycling and Stability indices according to the Landscape Function Analysis30 methodology. The sample worksheet shows how the first three plots and some indicators are recorded.
