plotless sampling

A Dictionary of Ecology | 2004 | | Copyright

plotless sampling Sampling without the use of quadrats or transects. Individual pin-frame records may be regarded as plotless samples. Plotless sampling is most often used for surveys of forest vegetation, especially where a rapid inventory is required. Various approaches have been developed (e.g. the nearest-neighbour sampling method).
