This post will go through stratified sampling for QCE Biology.

3.1.2 – Classification Processes

  • Describe the process in terms of:
    • Purpose (estimating population, density, distribution, environmental gradients and profiles, zonation, stratification)
    • Site selection
    • Choice of ecological surveying technique (quadrats, transects)
    • Minimising bias (size and number of samples, random-number generators, counting criteria, calibrating equipment and noting associated precision)
    • Methods of data presentation and analysis.
  • Mandatory practical: Use the process of stratified sampling to collect and analyse primary biotic and abiotic field data to classify an ecosystem.
