Litter was registered from 1778 video transects, of which 27% contained litter.
We use recordings of distant earthquakes made along two transects of 3-component broadband stations.
These results indicate that datasets gathered from transects of various lengths cannot be pooled without correction.
From the centre of permanent plots, transects of 200 m in east, west, north and south directions were laid out.
Vegetation was sampled in 11 transects of 10 m width and up to 500 m length covering 5.2 ha area.
A total of 52 plant species were identified at the line transects of which 49 belonged to the ground strata.
Then, in each land use type we laid out 3 parallel line transects of 200 m length, randomly.
Airborne LiDAR sampling was carried out in January-February 2012 using an approach based on systematically aligned transects of 1.5 km swath width (Figure 1a).
Our tipping bucket rain gauges were systematically installed along transects of approximately 60 km traversing both forested and open areas (Fig. 1).
The two transects of Mechukha in West Siang were laid out in grasslands used primarily by locals for grazing and with no tree covers.
Two transects of sites aligned along two 2D seismic lines in this area cover the Neogene succession of the Inner Sea of the Maldives (Fig. 3).
