Quadrat Grid - 50x50cm with 10cm Squares

This quadrat grid is a robust and reusable tool designed to support ecological and environmental fieldwork in a classroom or outdoor education setting. Measuring 50x50cm and divided into 10cm squares, it offers a clear, structured method for sampling vegetation, insects, or soil coverage within a defined area. The grid layout simplifies the process of quantifying species distribution and abundance, making it ideal for studies in biodiversity, population density, and ecological survey techniques. Durable and easy to transport, this grid is perfect for repeated use in school field trips, biology investigations, or introductory environmental science activities.
