hfj098 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I am taking an ecology course and we decide an experiment on the accuracy of using a quadrat to measure the population density in uniform, random and clumped distribution pattern. We found the accuracy is not that good when using quadrat to measure the population density of clumped and random distribution pattern. I can't figure out why the accuracy is lower in these 2 distributions and how to obtain a more accurate measurement in these 2 distributions.

jeskill Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Are you looking at other methods of measuring population density besides quadrats? What size are your quadrats and what size are the clumps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
