Explain how to compute frequency and density from data obtained through Quadrats.
Answers
✨Quadrats method
➡️ Scientists usually calculate the plant population frequency using the quadrat method. A quadrat is a sample plot of a specific size used for the study of population or a community.
➡️ Quadrats are used in many different scientific disciplines like vegetation assessment, including plant density, plant frequency and plant biomass.
➡️ Frequency is highly influenced by the size and shape of the quadrats used. The area that is chosen for study must not be so big that it cannot be sampled adequately, or so small that the habitat is difficult for sampling.
➡️ For herbaceous vegetation a metre square quadrat is normally used.
That's it..
