24
							<para>A Plot is a sampling location represented as one or more points, lines, polygons, or volumes, and is the basis for experimentation or measurement. Its properties are assumed to be constant over time. A point within the plot may be used as center for relative coordinates, which are required to be Cartesian. Plots may have no explicit bounds, and may refer to an area of inference. A plot may be related to other plots in order to express parent-child, contiguity, or other type of links. </para>
