At each station, sediment type was recorded as for the transect sampling method.
Diagrams show typical flight periods and results of transect counts for most species.
For each depth, three 20m transect lines were laid.
In point transect sampling, distances of detected objects from the sampled points are recorded.
Line transect methods are used to estimate fecal pellet density, which in turn leads to deer density.
No Brown Argus, Common Blue, Adonis or Small Heath seen on transect, yet.
Point transect sampling is used widely for monitoring trends in abundance of song birds.
Practical work will involve students recording plant% cover of plant species using quadrats along a transect.
Samples will be taken along a transect at 100m intervals across and along the relict river valley.
The random quadrat data is based on twice the number of samples in each section compared to the belt transect.
The second day provided us with an opportunity to observe the altitudinal vegetation gradient on a south to north transect, ending in Pucon.
The transect route through the paddock is only short being 165 meters.
These foci will be combined with transect survey of the entire area, which we intend to cover with a 12% sample.
Vegetation diversity was estimated from a transect recording the percentage bare ground, grass and other (herbs and shrubs).
