Module 2 - Plant Diversity, Sampling Area, and Island Biogeography

This study examines the plant diversity in a specific area of SEE U Brazil in 2001, focusing on identifying and counting different species within designated quadrants. The study also analyzes the distribution of flora types and their abundance in relation to the total number of species.

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

  2. 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.

  3. Flora Density and Abundance

  4. 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:

  5. 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.
