Post 4: Sampling Strategies

Systematic had the fastest estimated sampling time at 12 hours and 35 minutes.

Red maple – 8.25%

White Oak – 37.91%

Striped Maple – 0%

White Pine: (12.8-36.0)/36.0*100 = -64.44%

 

Random

Red Maple – -8.84%

White Oak – 16.40%

Striped Maple – -57.5%

White Pine- 0%

 

Haphazard

Red Maple – 5.68%

White Oak – 37.92%

Striped Maple – 0%

White Pine– 60%

 

The accuracy decreased as the species abundance increased, and I think systematic and haphazard are the most accurate and actually had similar results for both.
