11. QUANTITATIVE ECOLOGY

11.4. Synecological Study

11.4.4. Collection of Abiotic Data

The time required to collect this information during a synecological study depends on The Nature of the studied area. The task is simplified where the variation of a single factor clearly predominates, such as soil properties in a forest, meadow, or wetland. In the littoral zone, a greater number of measurements must be taken. Methods for determining various abiotic parameters are described in Section 11.1.
