Lesson: Ecological sampling using a quadrat | Oak National Academy

What is Quadrat sampling? 🤔 Quadrat sampling is a method used to study the distribution, abundance, and coverage of organisms in a given area. It involves selecting small, defined areas (quadrats) within a larger habitat and either counting, estimating, or measuring the organisms inside them. The data collected provides insights into population size, species distribution, and coverage within the entire habitat. From forests to coral reefs, this technique is essential for monitoring biodiversity
