The
comparisons between sections have been made using % frequency (with data taken from
all the quadrats sampled, both belt and random) as a measure of abundance. Percentage frequency = the percentage of the total number of quadrats sampled which contained the species. For example, a percentage frequency of 100%, means that the species was found in all quadrats sampled. The % frequencies shown above are based on an average of 22 quadrats sampled per section. Differences of 10% frequency (which equates to a difference of approximately 2 quadrats) or less should not be regarded as significant.
