What Are The Limitations of The Quadrat Approach

The document discusses the limitations of using the quadrat approach for ecological studies. The main limitations are that quadrats can only be used to study habitats without trees or bushes due to their small size, and they are not useful for studying fast-moving animals that will not remain within the quadrat boundaries. A second limitation is that the quadrat frequency method is not effective for analyzing animals that do not stay within the defined quadrat area.

trees and bushes are widely spread or completely absent.
