Sampling of abiotic (non-living) or chemical data can help to determine the quality of a habitat at specific points in time, however, biological organisms (living) can be used as round the clock indicators of habitat quality over longer periods. Their presence and abundance can help us understand how their environments are being changed with time. Both sampling methods are important when studying ecological systems such as Waikele Watershed.
