Module 2 - Plant Diversity, Sampling Area, and Island Biogeography SEE-U Brazil 2001

Flora Species We identified and counted the frequency of 27 species found within our 4m by 4m quadrant. We identified an additional 15 species within the 8m X 8m quadrant. An additional 10 species were found in the area proximate to our 8m X 8m quadrant.

Flora Density and Abundance

Flora Types Floral species were divided into the following life forms: trees, shrubs, vines, grasses and herbs. The distribution of these forms in respect to the total number of species is:

Conclusions We dealt with two levels of diversity: number of life forms and number of species. The number of life forms increases quadratically as the area increases.
