Table 4 Errors associated to site means estimations using the prescribed sampling effort of MARAS (500 intercept points, 50 patch-interpatch pairs in line-intercept transects and 10 LFA plots) estimated from five monitoring plots in each of the main Biozones of Patagonia using Equation 1 (n/a= errors not assessed).
From: The MARAS dataset, vegetation and soil characteristics of dryland rangelands across Patagonia
