A single transect was laid from the starting point with the aid of a hand held which help with directions of the transect. 10m by 10m quadrats were laid out along the transect at a distance of 50m between each transect. In each plot, coordinates and altitude were captured using a hand held GPS. This was done at the middle of each plot. Plant species present within the quadrat were recorded.Method steps
