A quadrant is a specific area or section of land, often marked out as a square or rectangle, used in ecological studies to sample and analyze vegetation, animal populations, or other ecological phenomena. Researchers place quadrants randomly or systematically within a study area to collect data on species diversity, abundance, and distribution. By analyzing the data gathered from these quadrants, ecologists can make inferences about the overall ecosystem and its health. Quadrant sampling is particularly useful for monitoring changes over time or assessing the impacts of environmental factors.
