Belt transects are used in biology, more specifically in biostatistics, to estimate the distribution of organisms in relation to a certain area, such as the seashore or a meadow.[1]
The belt transect method is similar to the line transect method but gives information on abundance as well as presence, or absence of species.[2][3]
