Quadrats, which involve randomly sampling a section of an area and counting the number of flowers within that section, would be the best choice for estimating flower species diversity. This method allows for accurate counting and identification of the various species within a given area. The other methods (mark-recapture, Lincoln Peterson index, distribution mapping) are better suited for studying animal populations rather than plant populations.
