Measuring Abundance: Transects and Quadrats
that where transects cross, organisms or candy at the intersections will be recorded multiple times, falsely increasing their perceived abundance To prevent this, the transects should be laid parallel to each other (an equal distance apart) Special considerations at your study site will determine how you place the transects in the field
How to Establish a Belt Transect
Locate transects, if possible, with one end along a road (pollution source) and the other end remote from the road The transects should be large enough to contain several suitable lichen-festooned trees and downed branches, probably about 10-15m wide and 25- 50 m long Ideally, each group of 3-4 students will have their own transect
A Line Transect
biodiversity study of organisms in one local habitat: plot studies and line transects A transect is a long, narrow sampling area, while a plot study is a square area that can be divided into subplots Transects extend over a longer portion of a study area than a plot does, resulting in a larger sample of different plant species
Transect Photo Sampling
transects Location of transects has three primary requirements: 1 The site under each transect must be homogeneous If an entire cluster of two to five transects is to represent a single site, vegetation and soil surface condi-tions under each of the transects must be homogeneous and similar to each other 124 Locating a Sample Area
QUADRAT & TRANSECT ACTIVITIES
Using Quadrats – there are several ways to collect data using quadrats and transects; we have included instructions and handouts for three basic types Methods can vary depending on the habitat, question of interest, and researcher, to provide the most accurate and repeatable data ∞ Transect Data – Uses only a transect line
HOW TO CARRY OUT A BEACH TRANSECT
the latitude and longitude documented, so that transects can be done in the same spot in the coming years EQUIPMENT Needed to Carry out Beach Transect (Equipment can be borrowed by 5 Gyres Staff) 1 100-meter tape measures (2) 2 2 5-meter stick (2) 3 Data sheet 4 Sample bags or jars (please reuse sample bags if plastic and use alternatives
Butterfly Transect Counts
Transects can, for example, be recorded during a lunch break or while walking the dog If you want to start a transect on an important site, try to link in with other recorders to share the transects to get good coverage throughout the year
