4.2 Quadrat


the fence splits the sand dune like the picture below:




by choosing to study the population on each side we have to count the number of individuals in the population by using a technique called "quadrating"

qudrat- can be made out of :
-wood 
-string 
-metal

with different sizes 

the quadrat is used to sample the area, and will count the area in the quadrat to get an estimate of the population size
