i dunno what a transect is sorry


a quadrat is like a square usually half a meter in size, where u throw it and wherever it lands u record whatever is found inside
u have to throw it at random


a bi-polar recording sheet is when u compare something like givin a scale of 1 to 10 of somat
like how clean the road is or how much pollution
its disadvantage is tht it depends on the assessments and skills of the students ie its subjective
take whatever you want and give nothing back :)
