Post 4: Sampling Strategies

Using the virtual forest, I chose to sample the Mohn Mill site, using random, systematic, and haphazard sampling methods, each with 25 samples (oops). The sampling method with the fastest…

Post 4: Sampling Strategies

The three sampling strategies used in the virtual forest tutorial were systematic, random, and haphazard sampling. Systematic had the fasted estimated sampling time, and random had a very similar sampling…

Sampling Strategies

 The 3 sampling strategies used in the tutorial were:  Systematic  Random  Haphazard  The fastest estimated sampling time was done in the systematic sampling. Comparing the percent error of the most…

Sampling Strategies

The community I sampled for this exercise was the Snyder- Middleswarth Natural Area. I chose to use area sampling rather than distance sampling since it is more relevant to my…

Post 4: Sampling strategies

Systematic, Random and Haphazard sampling techniques were used in the area-based method in the virtual forest tutorial. The systematic approach was most effective in terms of timing. The Random was…

Sampling Strategies

The fastest sampling technique was systematic sampling at 5 hours and 3 minutes. The second fastest is random sampling with 5 hours and 16 minutes, and one-minute longer is haphazard…

Blog Post 4: Sampling Strategies

For writing this post I used three sampling techniques – systematic, random and subjective (haphazard). Systematic technique took 12 hours and 6 minutes, random – 12 hours and 42 minutes…

Blog Post #4: Sampling Strategies

In this simulation, I chose to use a distance-based sampling strategy as it best represents my own field project. This was done in the Snyder-Middleswarth Natural Area simulation. The fastest…

Sampling Strategies

Overall, comparing the three sampling strategies, I would say the systemic sampling was the fastest at 12 hours 36 minutes compared to random’s 12 hours 43 minutes and haphazard’ s…
