  2. A transect is a path along which one records and counts occurrences of the phenomena of study (e.g. plants noting each instance).
  3. The urban-to-rural transect is an urban planning model created by New Urbanist Andrés Duany. The transect defines a series of zones that transition from sparse rural farmhouses to the dense urban core. ...
  4. a path along which a researcher moves, counts and records his observations; to divide something by cutting transversely
  5. (Transects) A path along which data is collected in a grid. By dividing an area into transects, archaeologists can make accurate maps of a site.
  6. (Transects) A method of Sampling in which a set of parallel, equidistant lines are drawn across a map or photo. Summation of Image information beneath the lines is used to predict values for the whole photo.
  7. (Transects) Oceanographic vessels usually work along transects, straight parallel lines covering the study area.
  8. (transects) A section across a stream channel that is perpendicular to the direction of water flow.
  9. An imaginary line drawn through an area in order to help scientists sample and monitor organisms or conditions along the line. The results obtained from samples along the line give an indication of the organisms or conditions in the entire area.
  10. A straight line placed on the ground along which ecological measurements are taken. If an ecologist wanted to sample the diversity of intertidal organisms in the intertidal, he/she would place a number of transects perpendicular to the shore and take samples at predetermined interval lengths. ...
  11. Cross section taken perpendicular to the shoreline to represent a segment of coast with similar characteristics.
  12. a monitoring research technique that marks a transverse along which measurements can be taken
  13. a line drawn between points and then used to investigate changes in surface features along that line.
  14. Surveying in a straight line across the land, usually for the purpose of mapping or recording information along the line. Transects are often conducted for a resource inventory.
  15. a pre-established line or zone used for sampling biological communities.
  16. A straight line of a given length containing study points located at specified distances.
  17. A selected piece of land on which data are gathered or photos are taken year after year, to monitor any changes arising from management practices.
  18. 1 : A measured line with weights at each end used to survey and count the number and diversity of species along the line  2 : A type of marine scientific survey in which the number and diversity of species is counted along one linear route  3 : A sample area, often in the form of a long ...
  19. In this case used as a noun, a transverse path across a parcel of land. Parallel transects will be surveyed for archaeological sites for the predictive model.
  20. In any field (outdoor) study, a transect consists of a line of study, often divided into intervals where observations or samples are collected.
  21. To cut across transversely, (at right angles to the Anterior posterior axis of the body).
  22. a straight line of certain length marked out through a wetland or upland, along which biodiversity is assessed or monitored
  23. A system of classification deploying the conceptual range rural-to-urban to arrange in useful order to the typical elements of urbanism. The transect is a natural ordering system, as every urban element easily finds a place within its continuum. ...
  24. A line or narrow belt used to survey the distributions of organisms or substrate across a given area. Also, an ecological method particularly useful in examining zonation or gradients.
  25. a linear sampling area.
