Sampling Techniques

What is the sampling technique Quadrat used for?

• The Quadrat technique is used to study the distribution and abundance of plants and stationary or slow-moving animals in uniform eco-systems. eg a grassland

• The Quadrat technique is used for assessing air pollution levels.
• The Quadrat technique is a method for analyzing water quality.
• The Quadrat technique is used for measuring soil pH levels.

What is the sampling technique Line Transects used for

• Line Transects are a method for capturing and tagging wildlife.
• Line Transects are used where there is a transition of organisms across the ecosystem. example, down a rocky sea shore

• Line Transects are primarily used for water quality testing.
• Line Transects are used for measuring soil pH levels.

What is a Line Transect

• A line transect is usually a measuring tape or string that has marks at regular intervals

• A line transect is a technique for capturing and tagging animals.
• A line transect is a method for measuring soil pH levels.
• A line transect is a type of graph used to plot population growth.
