Abstract:

Calculating simpsons diversity index for ground flora and invertebrates in specific habitats.

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, be aware of pollen allergies and take appropriate safety precautions.
