Study Extent

This study took place in Southern Region of Malawi specifically in Machinga district between Mongolwe and Chikala Forest Reserve in Machinga

Sampling

A 25m was laid to measure the size of a quadrat of 10x10m. Elevation and cordinates were recorded at the center of each quadrat in order to have average readings for the entire quadrat. The same string was used to measure a distance of 100m between quadrats(interval). Species observations were made in 6 quadrats.

Quality Control

none

Method steps

1. Repeatability can be done by tracing quadrat 1 with a hand held GPS and trace the remainder of the quadrats using track point while maintaining a 100m distance between quadrats
