8.

Quadrat = 0.5 x 0.5 m = 0.25 m2

In 10 quadrats there are 30 plants, i.e. in 2.5 m2 there are 30

5
plants

Therefore in 1 m2 there are 12 plants

The field has an area of 25,000 m2

5
Therefore there are 12 x 25,000 plants in the field, i.e. 300,000

Population = C1 x C2 / M2. 40 x 40 / 5 = 320. 5

320 in 2.5 ha, therefore there are 320/2.5 , i.e. 128 per ha. 5
