Using quadrats, how do you determine the number of organisms in a 10m² field?

Find the average number of organisms in one quadrat - if it is 0.25m², multiply it by 4 to get a 1m² area (to do this, add the numbers of organisms counted in each quadrat together and divide by the number of quadrats taken) then multiply by 100
