Estimating total quantity of litter

Litter quantity for entire campus is estimated through sample plots of 1 sq.m. chosen randomly (stratified random sampling) covering all vegetative area of IISc campus. These sample plots were monitored daily for seven days. Litter quantified in these study plots was extrapolated for entire vegetative area based on tree and species density.
