Transect how to make more valid
A
Move tape measure along and repeat
7
Q
Why place Quadrats in random positions
A
To prevent bias
8
Q
Transect steps
A
Use a large number of Quadrats
Place at regular intervals
Make sure transect runs through different light intensities
For each Quadrat count number of number of dandelions and light intensity
Compare data from both areas
9
