Biological & Plant Surveys

Biological & Plant Surveys

LBE conducts comprehensive biological and plant surveys to assess the health, diversity, and ecological value of aquatic habitats. Our team of experienced biologists and botanists utilizes scientifically rigorous methods to gather accurate and reliable data on the flora and fauna present in your waterbody.

Our biological surveys encompass a wide range of taxa, including aquatic and wetland plants, algae, cyanobacteria, and macroinvertebrates. Our experts also collect data on habitat characteristics, such as water quality, substrate composition, and vegetation structure, to gain a holistic understanding of the ecosystem.

Our plant surveys involve detailed inventories of aquatic vegetation communities. We use a combination of transect sampling, quadrat sampling, and point intercept techniques to identify and map plant species, assess their relative abundance, and characterize community structure. Our botanists have extensive knowledge of native and invasive plant species and can provide valuable insights into the health and sustainability of your plant communities.

The data collected during our biological and plant surveys serve as the foundation for informed decision-making and effective management strategies. We provide detailed reports that summarize our findings, highlight key ecological trends and patterns, and offer recommendations for conservation, restoration, or management actions. Our team can also assist with the development of long-term monitoring programs to track changes in species populations and habitat conditions over time.
