Exercise 2TERRESTRIAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES(Preliminary Report)December 6, 2007Submitted by:Group # 2Gerardo, Mary AntonetteMaguslog, JustineSalumbre, RenzSurquia, Joseph Michael
 
I.IntroductionII. Materials and Methodology
Materials:
•
Worksheet (Appendix 3)
•
Barbecue sticks
•
Pencils and erasers
•
Straws
•
Scientific Calculator

Personal Computer Methodology:In this exercise, the groups are tasked to do sampling methods of three ways, thetransect, the quadrat and the point-quarter methods wherein groups are tasked to identifyhow they interpret the data that will be collected. Procedures used to establish the saidmethods are improvised for adaptation due to the unfavorable weather.In the transect method, the group used the line intercept method as instructed inthe manual. The group designated three parallelling lines of straws across five plant boxes measuring 30cm x 15cm or 150cm x 15cm and counted the species present per individual line across and recorded it. The recorded data were then subjected for computation via Related Density and interpreted the results.This method is illustrated inFigure 1.In the Quadrat method, the group made square plots in every plant box measuring15cm x 15cm bounded by straws in a total of five or 75cm x 15 cm. The said square plotscovered only half of the plant boxes covered in the previous method. The group counted present species, recorded it and treated the results via Related Diversity also. This methodis shown in Figure 2.The quadrats were then divided into four each totalling twenty quadrants with ameasurement of 7.5cm x 7.5 cm of quadrants in each of the five quadrat. The species arecounted and recorded separately bounded by straws in all of the twenty quadrants. This isthe point-quarter method as shown in figure 3 and the data are interpreted thru thecomputation of Relative Diversity.
