OCR PAG 3.1: Sampling Techniques - Species Diversity
Abstract:
Calculation of species diversity.
Hints & Tips:
- Do not throw quadrats, as this can be dangerous. Use a random number generator to decide coordinates and then place the quadrat in the designated place. You will need to pre-grid the area under test to designate coordinates. Do this ahead of time.
- You may need to make an identification guide depending on the species covered in your test area.
- Wash hands after doing any fieldwork and be aware of pollen allergies, taking appropriate safety precautions.
