plots are "100 x 100 ft (30.5 x 30.5 m)" (actually 30.48 m)
A series of six 100x 100 ft (30-5x 30-5 m) plots forming a transect down the catena were marked out...At the same time, the ground vegetation of the catena was investigated on a series of fifty-six 5 x 5 ft (1-52 x 1-52 m) quadrats placed 20 ft (6-1 m) apart forming a transect parallel to the plots mentioned above.(p. 387)
