Formula : 1. Frequency = Number of quadrats containing the species/ Total number of quadrats 100% 2.

. Relative frequency = Frequency of the species /Total frequency of all species 100% 6. Relative density = Density of a species/ Total density of all species 100% 4. Relative species coverage = Coverage of a species/ Total coverage of all species 100%

Formula : a) The frequency of a species is calculated by using the following formula : Frequency =total number of intervals where the species are found / total number of intervals transect 100% b) The percentage of surface cover of each species is calculated as follow: % species cover =total cross sectional length of a species/total length of transect 100% c) The relative species cover is calculated as follow : Relative species cover = total cross sectional length of a species/ total cross sectional length of all species 100%

Calculation : Frequency of Axoropus Compressus = 100/ 100 100% = 100% Percentage coverage of Axoropus Compressus =

48.20 m /150 m 100% = 32.13% Relative coverage of Axoropus Compressus =48.20 m/ 151.54 m 100% = 31.81%
