Gaudin on the vertical walls of Aguja de Pastel in the Curavacas Massif(Spain). The short and variable period of flowering that this plant has, the inaccessibilityand the physiognomy of the place in which it grows, the resources needed, as well as themeteorological harshness linked to the time of the year in which the censuses are carriedout make it a priority to optimize the time spent on fieldwork. For this reason, we designeda method to reduce the sampling load. This method allows us to reduce the time spent andthe material, methodological and human resources used in censuses, while maintainingthe highest possible precision PB Elsevier SN 2351-9894 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10612/17548 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10612/17548 NO Alfaro-Saiz, E., Granda, V., Rodríguez, A., Alonso-Redondo, R., and García-González, M.
