systematic sample =advantage
allows continuous changes to be investigated
2 of 6
systematic sample disadvantage
important sites may be missed making results inaccurate
3 of 6
stratified sample advantage
similar sites to take measurements allows significant changes to be investigated where other techniques will not be selected
4 of 6
stratified sample disadvantage
does not allow a continuous change to be measured and may result in specific sites being more clustered
