Nelikenttäkuvaus
Nelikenttäkuvaus, often translated as four-field description or quadrate description, is a method used in ecology and biology to systematically describe and analyze the vegetation within a defined area. This technique involves dividing a larger sampling area into smaller, equal-sized squares or quadrats. Within each quadrat, researchers record the presence and abundance of different plant species, as well as other relevant environmental data.
The size and number of quadrats are determined by the specific research objectives and the habitat being
Nelikenttäkuvaus is a fundamental tool for ecological surveys, biodiversity assessments, and monitoring vegetation changes over time.
