Show transcript
Quadrats are square frames which can be used to sample plants or slow-moving animals. There are different measurements that you can take using a quadrat depending on what you are investigating. Most sampling using quadrats is random to avoid bias in your results. Classification keys can be used to identify different species. The results of ecological sampling can be used to inform conservation and preservation efforts.
