Question

Identify each of the terms in the scenario below. Your class went out to Government Canyon State Park, and each group had to measure the size and density of organisms in a 1 m^2 area (A). Your group counted 10 daisies in your first quadrat (B), and they covered about 5% of your plot (C). You took your data back to lab and compared it with other lab groups. Out of the 12 plots examined, only 8 had daisies in them (D). You found that your lab section as a whole counted 71 daisies total in 12m^2 (E), and they covered a total of 7% of the area of all of the plots (F). A. Frequency B. % Coverage C. Average % coverage D. Density E. Average density F. Quadrat sampling

Explanation / Answer

Frequency

Frequency :Indicates the number of times a plant species is present within a given number of quadrats.Frequency (Fi )  = Total # of quadratssampled/ # of quadrats with species =12/8=1.5%

% Coverage: 7%

average % coverage:5%

Density:5%

Average density 7%

Quadrat sampling: 1 m2  area being sampled
