Grassland Quadrat Samples

Data was collected using ten quadrat samples were taken in a grassland area in Toronto Ontario. The quadrants were used to observe the number of plants, number of species, species identity, approximate percentage of vegetation coverage, and approximate percentage of grass coverage. This data was collected by P Chow, N Gajendran, C Lau, and T Sequeira who all had designated roles in the data collection process. P Chow was designated to estimate the percentage of grass coverage and vegetation coverage so that perception of the estimation would remain generally the same. N Gajendran took five steps in any direction in attempt to keep quadrant sampling relatively random. C Lau recorded the data and the species identity. T Sequeira counted the number of plants within each quadrat distinguishing them by root.本数据集采集自加拿大安大略省多伦多市的一处草地，共获取10个样方(quadrat)样本。本次采样以样方为观测单元，记录内容包括植株总数、物种数量、物种鉴定结果、植被盖度近似百分比以及草本盖度近似百分比。该数据集由P·乔（P Chow）、N·加延德兰（N Gajendran）、C·刘（C Lau）与T·塞凯拉（T Sequeira）共同采集，四人在数据采集流程中均承担了明确分工：P·乔负责估算草本盖度与植被盖度，以确保估测结果的整体一致性；N·加延德兰通过向任意方向行走五步的方式，尽可能保证样方采样的随机性；C·刘负责记录采集数据与物种鉴定结果；T·塞凯拉则以根系为区分依据，统计每个样方内的植株总数。
