Post 4: Sampling Strategies

The fastest technique was Systematic (12hrs 6 minutes), while random and haphazard sampling took 12hrs 46 minutes each. The percentage error for the two most common vs. rare species: Systematic…

Blog Post 4: Sampling Strategies

Systematic sampling resulted in the greatest efficiency after doing the three sampling strategies on the Snyder-Middleswarth Natural Area. It took the least amount of time, with 12 hours and 7…

Sampling Strategies

For the virtual forest tutorial, my three sampling strategies used in the Snyder-Middleswarth Natural Area were: Area, random. Distance, systematic. Distance, haphazard. The distance, systematic sampling strategy had the shortest…

Sample stratiegies

During the virtual forest instruction at the Mohn Mill site, I employed area-based sampling techniques to gather data. The systematic procedure proved to be the fastest, requiring only 12 hours,…

Sampling Strategies in Snyder-Middleswarth Natural Area

I used the distance-based method to compare between sampling strategies in the virtual Snyder-Middleswarth Natural Area. Distance-based methods takes much less time than area-based, as we are only noting the…

Sampling strategies

In an online course recently held at the Snyder-Middleswarth Natural Area, we examined several sample procedures to ascertain their accuracy and usefulness. Identifying the best technique for estimating the distribution of…

Blog Post 4: Sampling Strategies

I did my sampling on the Snyder-Middleswarth Natural Area using area-based sampling, using random, haphazard, and systematic sampling strategies. For me, systematic sampling gave me the fastest time, 13 hours…
