Transect Walks

Transect walks are systematic surveys used to study various environments, such as natural habitats or urban areas. During a transect walk, individuals walk along a predetermined line or path, known as a transect, and observe or record specific data, such as plant species, animal sightings, or environmental conditions. This method helps researchers gather information on biodiversity, ecological patterns, or changes in the landscape over time. By collecting data at regular intervals along the transect, scientists can analyze the diversity and distribution of organisms and understand the health of ecosystems.
