Abstract
The frequency of species at successive levels within a vegetation is determined from their intercepts on vertical sampling cylinders. The sampling cylinders are visually estimated using a rod with attached guide rings. The theory and statistical characteristics of the method are discussed and some examples of its use given.Keywords
