The Distribution of Plant Populations

In studying the distribution of plant species in sample quadrats it may be assumed that the individuals are aggregated into groups showing a Poisson distribution, while the number of individuals in each group follows a logarithmic distribution. The resulting compound distribution of individuals per quadrat is the negative binomial. Evidence is produced to show that the distributions calculated on this basis agree with those actually obtained in the cases examined.
