CSULB Fieldwork Database

• The database, then, is a byproduct of pædagogical activities

• Caveats:

• Disparities in sampling systems:
• Most are transects, some are isolated quadrats, some are quadrats along transects
• Some transects extend into grassland; some don't
• Length: Some transects are 10 m long, sampling every m; other transects and hybrids are 40-50 m, sampling every 5 m
• Different goals: recovering vs. stable, disturbed vs. intact
• Work done by students for classes
