Transects and Sampling Basics

A transect is a straight line or path along which a geographer records data at set intervals, useful for studying how something changes gradually across a landscape, like vegetation moving from a riverbank to higher ground, or land use changing along a route into a city center. Sampling means collecting data from a smaller, manageable set of locations or people rather than every single one, chosen carefully so the sample still represents the larger area or population being studied.
