For mosses, you can use 10 x 10 cm quadrats :)

cheers

Depends on numbers of samples, grids sizes, target organismes, the area surveyed etc. However one of the 25×25 cm, 50x25 cm, 50x12.5 cm quadrates could be suitable...

In my opinion, it depends of the richness of the sampled area. Its a logical conclusion that the size of the quadrats its directly correlationated with the number of species. Normally, you better should use a minimum of 25x25 cm to obtain good results.

Regards.
