A Line Transect gives one a point of reference in a study area from which to sample. These teachers are using a line transect to take a sampling of a large study area. You can place a …

Unlike Belt Transect, Line Transect involves recording the presence or absence of organisms along a straight line or transect. Researchers walk along the line and mark the location of each …

The transect is simply a line that spans the gradient of interest, and then you locate your sample plots along this line (see Figure 1). The length of your transect would be determined by the …

We applied this detection function to obtain detected pine trees when a single transect line and multiple transect lines were placed on the study region (200m by 200m forest in Thomas …

A specialization of line transect sampling is point transect sampling (also called the variable circular plot method; Reynolds et al., 1980), i.e., the observer stands at one location and …

Line transect sampling is usually used to sample objects for which detectability depends on location relative to the observer. The objective is to estimate the density of objects in the study …

It requires an observer to move along a fixed path and to count occurrences along the path and, at the same time (in some procedures), obtain the distance of the object from the path.

One moves along a transect line from a random point, counting the organisms within a specified distance (dashed lines) from the line of travel, and marks the distance at which the third …
