In the steppe area with bulk distribution pattern, standard error was less in Point quarter, Ordered distance, T-square and plot respectively. On the other hand in forest area, density resulted from Ordered distance, T-square, plot and Point quarter methods were respectively close to the real density. While in the steppe area, density resulted from Point quarter, Ordered distance, T-square and plot methods were respectively close to the real density UR - https://www.ijabbr.com/article_7797.html L1 - https://www.ijabbr.com/article_7797_52ae9759d01c5ad0878264a01fd4b1e1.pdf ER -
