Proposed sampling method, sample allocation and sample distribution for two hypothetical strata. (a) two differest forest types overlayed with a systematic grid; (b) the same as (a) but with each forest type divided into the same number of area equivalent units (hexagons); (c) same as (b) but with one randomly selected sample point taken in each of the area equivalent units; (d) zoom in on one area equivalent unit and (e) the distrubution of seven sample points in the area equivalent unit using a distance rule for the sample location choice.
