Description

Standardized 3-minute sweep net sampling over 4m² plots to quantify grasshopper abundance and biomass along elevational gradients. Includes measurement of individual lengths as biomass proxy.

Typical Equipment

  • insect sweep nets
  • measuring tools for grasshopper length

Output Measurements

  • grasshopper abundance
  • grasshopper biomass
  • individual lengths
