Figs 18-20. An ideal quadrat containing all the taxa of the second sample plot was appointed (indicated by ***). The ideal quadrat and quadrats of the autumn (Fig. 18) and spring (Fig. 19) sampling were compared by the help of principal components analysis. Results with all quadrats are demonstrated on Fig. 20. Dots indicate the quadrats with numbers 1-28 (the autumn quadrats), numbers l*-28* (spring quadrats). Quadrats set in the central part of the transection (10-13) are the most comparable to the ideal one, however none of the quadrats agree with it. The distribution of dots (quadrats) in the combined data set refers to a vegetation with high ß-diversity, i.e. quickly changing diversity. It correlates well with the fact that the sample plot was indicated not in an extensive but in a small patch of forest
