Pros-
easy to use, inexpensive, suitable for studying plants, slowmoving animals and faster moving animals with a small range.

Cons-
require the researcher to perform work in the field (regardless of weather), and are prone to study errors.

Equipment-
Quadrat, clip board, paper, pen

cons: weather (high winds, temperature), time of day can affect, takes a long time, landscape (long plants), everyone will sweep differently, nets can be costly
equipment: net (diameter of 15 inches), same net for each time you sweep for accurate results, PPE (suitable clothing)]]> 2019-01-31 10:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/HollyBrinsbury/Surveys/wish/326191717 https://padlet.com/HollyBrinsbury/Surveys/wish/326191866 Cons:
