It was not difficult for me to decide on a sampling technique or how to collect data. As I stated from the beginning. Because the research area I chose was not too large, I did not use random sampling. There were only 5 species that I observed for my research in that small area. In that small area, the primary species for my research was more abundant than the other species. So, I chose systematic sampling along the tropical gradient to collect data for my research, and I will continue to use systematic sampling along the tropical gradient in the future.
Hello ! thanks for your blog post. I little more clarification on what a tropical gradient is, or what composed the gradient, would be useful. Were all species measured? thank you
