Sampling Strategies

In the virtual tutorial, I did this exercise in the Mohn Mill area.
Which technique has the fastest estimated sampling time?
The distance sampling method has the fastest estimated time for the following reasons:
Distance sampling (5 hours 25 minutes)
Area sampling (13 hours 44 minutes)

The tree that appeared most frequently in the distance sample was the red maple, with a density of 440.7 trees per hectare.
The tree that appeared most frequently in the area sample was the red maple, with a density of 400 trees per hectare.

Area sampling is more accurate, but it takes longer events.
System is more accurate than random.
