Hello Ecolog! I am a research technician working on my own project, the first one I have designed from the start by myself. I have wetland plants growing in tubs that are about 56.5 cm in diameter. In addition to species diversity, I also want to measure the relative abundance of each species, but counting each stem of each species in each tub that I have is entirely impractical.
Since my tubs are circular, I am not sure what sampling method to use for estimating this. Any advice would be very much appreciated. *Nicole Holstein* 304-437-5876 [image: Follow teststamp on Twitter] <http://www.twitter.com/nicoleeoli12> <http://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleholstein/>
