Question

During plant sampling why quadrat of 1m^2 is preferred?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

• quadrat is a frame, traditionally square, used in ecology and geography to isolate a standard unit of area for study of the distribution of an item over a large area. Modern quadrats can for example be rectangular, circular, or irregular
• Random sampling using quadrats
• When you have chosen a sampling area, first divide it up into a grid, for instance, having 10 × 10 divisions.
• Use a suitable method – you could draw numbers out of a hat – to generate a pair of random coordinates on your grid.
• Place the first quadrat on your grid using these coordinates.
