<p>@Quetin, thanks for suggesting that <code>organismQuantity</code> tag - we are probably using it. </p>

<div>For abundance you could use <span class="" id=":49n.1" tabindex="-1">organismQuantity</span> in conjunction with
<span class="" id=":49n.2" tabindex="-1">organismQuantityType</span>. Both are loosely defined, so just
define the terms of your abundance scale in <span class="" id=":49n.4" tabindex="-1">organismQuantityType</span> and use the
relevant term in <span class="" id=":49n.6" tabindex="-1">organismQuantity</span>. If you can restrict your terms to a
more standard terminology such as <span class="" id=":49n.8" tabindex="-1">DAFOR</span> or <span class="" id=":49n.9" tabindex="-1">BraunBlanquet</span>, so much the better.</div>

Just realized that PlinianCore might also be of help:<br>

It's a standard for species<br>

probably<br>
other people on this list that do.<br>
