time transects or changes in a line transect


Explanation:
They provide a good way of being able to clearly visualize the changes taking place along the line of a transect

Line transects are used when you wish to illustrate a particular gradient or linear pattern along which communities of plants and, or animals change

by successional transects


Explanation:
We're more familiar with spatial transects, meant to provide a snapshot of the distribution of something, typically a plant or animal species, over space, at a given time. However, sometimes we're interested in how things change over time - e.g., how the distribution of plant species evolves as a certain area becomes urbanized. The series of snapshots of the same area over time constitute a successional transect.
