Practical Field Ecology: A Project Guide
Practical Field Ecology: A Project Guide introduces experimental design and data analysis/interpretation as well as field monitoring skills for both plants and animals. Clearly structured throughout and written in a student-friendly manner, the main emphasis is on the techniques required to design a field based ecological survey, showing how to execute an appropriate sampling regime. Practical Field Ecology: A Project Guide evaluates appropriate methods, including the problems associated with various techniques and their inherent flaws (e.g. low sample sizes, large amount of field or laboratory work, high cost etc). This provides a resource base outlining details from the planning stage, into the field, guiding through sampling and finally through organism identification in the laboratory and computer based data analysis and interpretation
