A Test of Random Versus Systematic Ecological Samplig
Bourdeau PF. 1953. A Test of Random Versus Systematic Ecological Samplig. Ecology. 34(3):499-512
Of the numerous published papers pertaining to ecological sampling, most are concerned with the size, shape, and number of plots making the most efficient sample, or yielding the greatest precision for the minimum of work. The present investigation is of quite a different nature in that it compares a systematic sample, commonly used by ecologists, with a random sample, required by statisticians, as obtained in a completely enumerated forest stand.
