Plant abundance can be estimated by placing quadrats randomly in an area and counting the number of plants within. Population size can be calculated by multiplying the number of plants in the quadrat by the total area divided by the quadrat area.
L'abbondanza delle piante può essere stimata posizionando quadrati a caso in un'area e contando il numero di piante all'interno. La dimensione della popolazione può essere calcolata moltiplicando il numero di piante per l'area totale divisa per l'area del quadrato.
