Transect Line and Quadrat Analysis

This document provides instructions for conducting transect line surveys to analyze substrate composition and pseudo organism abundance. The transect line method involves measuring the length of each substrate type along a transect line to calculate its percentage of the total length. Pseudo organism abundance is determined by counting organisms within a quadrat at set intervals along the transect line and calculating abundance and relative abundance metrics.
