In a joint project carried out in the context of the extremely extensive study “Cultivated Landscape Research in Austria”, over 30 research workers from eight institutions took 10 random samples from each of 41 square sampling sites with a side length of 600 m. The sites were chosen by means of a random number generator according to totally objective criteria. The exact documentation of positions naturally makes it possible to repeat the procedure at any time to permit monitoring. e. subjective) in many previous bioindication studies.
