About this document
Quadrat Sampling for Animal Abundance by sammyluver5 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses quadrat sampling techniques to estimate total abundance of animals in a large area. It describes stratifying the sampling area based on known habitat differences, and calculating separate estimates for each stratum. Stratified sampling reduces variance compared to unstratified sampling and allows sampling higher density strata at a higher rate. The example estimates sea urchins on a reef using stratified sampling into a high density inner area and lower density outer area. It calcula
