This guide has many techniques ideal for sampling many (and possibly any) habitat type. The guide includes field sheets for easy data entry, equations to obtain key ecological standards, plus a detailed description of the many techniques with cited references. Simply a handy tool and a "must have" when working in a field of so many different sampling techniques for different habitats.
I have worked in the field of ecological consulting for over 25 years. This book is indispensable for formulating surveys and monitoring as well as doing simple effective statistical tests. The formulas are well laid out and can easily be adapted to a spreadsheet. The techniques, and variations and adaptations, are well described. I would not be without this book. Don't be fooled by the date of publication. It isn't as if ecologists are replacing their field techniques.
I am beginner's ecology. This I have only had Statistics 101. This book is heavy duty statistic formula textbook and its dated but formula's don't change. I am hoping in the future I will be able to utitilize this better.
Have not used it yet but my boss swears by it, it is used as reference on environmental studies papers.
I bought used but paid more because I thought I would need the disk, but its a floppy! Don't pay more for the disk, it's no use.
