abundance is the size of the population in an area (number of plants/animals)
distribution is where organisms are found in the habitat
Random Sampling
if you expect your species to have a uniform distribution, you should use random sampling.
measure the area of the field/habitat. measure the area of one quadrat. Using a random number generator, generate 10 sets of coordinates. place the quadrat at a coordinate and count the number of flowers in that quadrat
