Abstract
This study examines the influence of micro-topography and other environmental parameters on managed coastal grasslands in Estonia. Vegetation community types were identified and abundance and frequency of plant species were recorded within 105 vegetation quadrats. A dGPS approach was used to record mean elevations within 1m2 quadrats, as well as soil moisture, soil organic matter content, soil pH, conductivity, N, P and K values. A significant difference was recorded for different vegetation community types, and mean differences were between 4 and 19cm dependant on the vegetation community type.
