Grassland relevés of Uruguay	Web address:
Database manager(s): Felipe Lezama (felipe.lezama@gmail.com)
Owner: UdelaR
Scope: Relevés were sampled in 5 m x 5 m quadrats located in the center of preferentially selected stands. We recorded all vascular plants species and visually estimated percentage aerial cover of each individual species following the Braun-Blanquet abundance scale for values under 5%, and in steps of 5% for higher values.
Abstract: So far the database has been used in phytosociological analysis and in the study of invasion processeses.
