4.3- Quadrates Samples

Describe the use of quadrats as a technique for sampling the distribution of organisms in their habitats

-Use quadrats to sample the population
Samples:
-Random
-Representative (Large), the bigger the better
-Random numbers (x,y co-ordinates), can be generated online
-Count the population in the square of the random x,y co-ordinates
-10% of the actual area

No. of eg. daises per meter squared= no.of daises divided by no. of quadrats
