Sampling

"A systematic sampling of the Dogo-Kétou forest was carried out. This technique allow to collect biodiversity data in the forest. It's a good technique in the forest because it has enormous advantages such as: Easier localization of sounding points allowing quick identification; cheaper travel, The regular distribution of points over the entire forest. This provides more information per unit cost compared to random sampling (Rondeux, 1999) The sampling device to be used is a square mesh of 200 m x 200 m, i.e. one sampling point over 4 hectares. The spaces were installed at a minimum distance of 50 m from the edge of the furthest track. close to avoid edge effects. Each plot will have an area of ​​one hectare subdivided into two sub-plots of 0.5 ha. The sampling area of ​​one ha makes it possible to integrate the maximum of biodiversity per plot."
