Question
ecologists use quadrats because: *
its impossible to count every organism
theyre used only for large animals
it provides exact counts, not estimates
they cant use graphs
Quadrats are used in ecology for sampling. In large areas, it's impractical to count every organism. Quadrats allow ecologists to sample a representative area and estimate population sizes. They are not just for large animals (can be used for plants, small organisms too). They give estimates (not exact counts as it's a sample). And the reason isn't about not being able to use graphs.
