- Title
Determination of Plant Densities.
- Authors
BARTLETT, M. S.
- Abstract
E. J. MACHIN1 appears to be unaware of the extensive study by G. E. Blackman2 on the relation between plant density and percentage absence. In a theoretical appendix to this paper, I have pointed out that the most efficient size of quadrat corresponds to about 20 per cent absence, or a product of quadrat size and plant density of about 1.6 (the efficiency remains reasonable over a range of, say, 0.7-3.0, compared with the rather wider range 0.3-3.3 implied by Machin).
