First phase systematic sampling

Click Plugins --> Manage and Install Plugins.
Type in the search bar Point sampling tool, click on the plugin name and then on Install plugin.
Load the single band raster file C_ID.tif created by [Convert vector to Raster].
Load the regular grid as vector point file systematic_grid100.shp' created by [Create regular point grid].
Make sure that both layers are ticked in the [TOC].
Open the Point Sampling Tool clicking .
Select the layer containing sampling points.
Specify the output of the resulting vector file marking column with CTR + left click.
Enter an output shapefile name systematic_grid100_cid.shp and path by clicking Browse.
Confirm with OK. The new layer is added to the Layer Panel .

In the search engine of the Processing Toolbox, type Random selection and select Random selection within subsets under Vector selection tools of QGIS.
Select Regular point grid (result of Create regular grid) as the input layer.
Select the Column name containing the grouping class code as ID field.
Enter 10 as sample size for each category.
Click on Run to execute the algorithm.
