What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Frequency | % |
| Quadrats it was found in | no unit |
| Total quadrats | no unit |
Worked example
Find the frequency when Quadrats it was found in = 7, Total quadrats = 20.
Using frequency = (quadrats with the species)/(total quadrats) × 100: Frequency = 35 %.
Frequently asked questions
