Quadrat
A quadrat is an area in a particular forest with a certain amount of living species. In addition it helps to know how plants are growing in this field and it is often used for observing the natural behavior of animals.A quadrat is a measured and marked
square, used in field biology to isolate a
sample area for the purpose of counting the
population of different
species within that area. By sampling many quadrats, biologists can create data sets for
statistical analysis. The advent of the quadrat was a key development in the professionalization of
ecology.
