Question

Martin has hypothesized that the size and types of trees differ between valleys and higher elevations. He sets up a transect line in a wooded valley and randomly creates three 10 x 10 meter plots along the transect line, recording GPS coordinates for the northwest corner of each plot. He identifies and measures (diameter at breast height) every tree within the plots. He repeats this procedure in a wooded area on the ridge above the valley.

Are Martin’s methods for identifying and measuring trees quantitative, qualitative, or semi-quantitative?

Answer 1

Ans.

Since Martin has followed quantitative technique to fulfill his work, his method will be called as quantitative. Quantitative means where we collect, present and analyse the data and on the basis of that, we prove something.
