Determination of an appropriate quadrat size and shape for detecting association between plant species

Abstract

The outcome of association analysis between species can be influenced by the size and shape of sampling quadrats. To eliminate this problem, a new method is proposed for determining an appropriate size for sampling quadrat. This method is based on measurement of the density of the plant species concerned. The use of this method is illustrated for the detection of association between species in a hypothetical community.
