Sub-index for this section on biodiversity and ecological surveying (pages overlap)

Using quadrats and transects, measuring the abundance and distribution of organisms - plants or animals - data calculations, how to use a key and draw a kite diagram, use of indicator species - investigating pollution - monitoring abiotic factors

(1) Introduction to investigating distribution & abundance of organisms and learning objectives

(2) Surveying using quadrats and example of quadrat calculations based on sampling data

(3) Surveying using transects

(4) Estimating the percentage cover (distribution) of a species from a quadrat

(5) Estimating a population size by using a capture-recapture technique and three ways of trapping animals

(6) Kite diagrams to show abundance and distribution of organisms and graphs representing biodiversity-/ecology data

(7) Using keys to identify organisms e.g. a minibeast key

(8) Monitoring techniques, instruments for measuring abiotic factors - pollution, living organisms as indicators of environmental changes - indicator species
