PPT-Quadrats

Square sample areas marked out with a frame Repeatedly place a quadrat at random positions in a habitat Record number of organisms present each time Quadrats Random numbers generated to create coordinates where the quadrat is placed in an area reduces bias. To track changes over time it is important to be able to quantify changes in abundance Also learning these tec hniques will give students the tools necessary to ask their own ecological questions and make comparisons among sites A transect line is a Aims. To understand how scientists count . organisms using quadrats. Key words. Biodiversity. Population. Environment. Sampling. Which of these scenes has the greatest biodiversity?. Investigating distribution. Organisms and their environment. B2.4. In groups consider what your main needs will be as the following organisms:. A dandelion. An actual lion. A Burmese python. Mould on some cheese. A bee. An oak tree. Learning Objectives. Recap yesterday. Elaborate on a few things.. Study the different ecological techniques used to study populations..
