Divide the area into a 1m by 1m grid 1 of 7 Step 2: In order to be accurate you need to aim to sample 5-10% of the total area 2 of 7 Step 3: Generate random coordinates using a random number generator 3 of 7 Step 4: Count the number of species within the first quadrate 4 of 7 Step 5: Repeat this at the position determined by each set of random co-ordinates 5 of 7 Step 6: Calculate the mean number of species found within all quadrates 6 of 7 Step 7: Calculate total population = mean number of species x total area 7 of 7
