Environmental sampling techniques are used in biology,
ecology and
conservation as part of scientific studies to learn about the
flora and
fauna of a particular area and establish a
habitat'sbiodiversity, the abundance of species and the conditions in which these species live amongst other information.[1] Where species are caught, researchers often then take the trapped organisms for further study in a lab or are documented by a researcher in the field before the animal is released. This information can then be used to better understand the environment, its ecology, the behaviour of species and how organisms interact with one another and their environment. Here is a list of some sampling techniques and equipment used in environmental sampling:
Quadrats - used for plants and slow moving animals[2][3]
Techniques for Birds and/or Flying Invertebrates and/or Bats
