2 nd International Non-Wood Products Symposium 8-10 September 2011 - Isparta/TURKEY<br />

Guided Transect Sampling has been used for<br />

sparse and scattered populations. It is a two stage<br />

design. Firstly, area is divided into grid-cells of a<br />

suitable size. A covariate value is determined for<br />

each cell from aerial photograph or satellite<br />

images. While the strips are very wide in the first<br />

stage, sub lines are determined across the first<br />

strip in the second stage. This sampling can be<br />

combined with different transect based on<br />

sampling methods like line transect sampling<br />

(Stahl et al., 2000). Beside these methods,<br />

Transect Sampling (TS) and Point relaskop<br />

sampling are other sampling methods for woody<br />

debris (Table 2).<br />

2.1.3 Sampling of wildlife populations<br />

Wildlife populations provide numerous benefits as<br />

direct and indirect to humans. Hide, skin, leather<br />

and some kind of foods can be reported as their<br />

direct benefits. However, they have important<br />

ecological role such as transportation of pollens<br />

and distribution of seed. The monitoring of animal<br />

populations is necessary to conserve scarce<br />

species and to realize changing in the population<br />

over several years (Liu et. al., 2008).<br />

The inventory of a particular animal species is not<br />

easy, as they are mobile and may appear in a short<br />

time. Therefore, population size estimation<br />

procedure is complex. When practicing with some<br />

birds and small mammals in the limited area,<br />

estimation of size may be possible (Seber, 1982).<br />

But there are some sampling methods that are<br />

simple to practice such as quadrat sampling, TS<br />

and capture-recapture sampling. Table 3<br />

illustrates some inventory samples for animal<br />

resources NWFP.<br />

Quadrat sampling is the most common sampling<br />

methods used in determining animal population<br />

size among fixed-area plot methods. The shape of<br />

quadrats can be any form. In the estimation of<br />

population size, square or rectangular shaped<br />

quadrats are usually used. Quadrat size varies<br />

from one species to another. While small sized<br />

quadrats are used for stationary and small animals,<br />

big sized quadrats are used for large and mobile<br />

animals (Shiver and Border, 1996).<br />

Strip Transect (STS) shaped long and narrow<br />

rectangular is a kind of quadrat sampling. In this<br />

sampling the most important thing is to be visible<br />

and quantitative of interested species. Especially it<br />

is very convenient sampling for ant colonies,<br />

termite mound, some animals living in soil, some<br />

insects, birds and small mammals (Burnham et al.,<br />

1980). Unlike quadrats, it is easier in terms of<br />

sampling and application of quadrats (Seber,<br />

1986).<br />
