The data was collected at Mosquito Creek Park on April 23rd, 2022. The main objective was to determine where the Vinca Minor grows; if it is in specific locations and if that correlates to elevation or other species in the area. The data was collected by first choosing three locations: the entrance of the trail (49.33998°N, 123.09200°W), the centre of the trail (49.34117°N, 123.09110°W), and a point of higher elevation in the trail (49.34283°N, 1230883°W). I used a quadrat (a picture frame) that measures 8×10 inches and placed it 5 times in each area at a distance of three paces to avoid any potential bias and keep each area uniform and consistent. I counted the number of flowers that appeared in each quadrat for each of the five replicates in each location. This allowed me to see how many flowers were present in each area, where they are most abundant, and where they are least abundant. The difficulties in implementing my sampling strategies was that I was unsure at first which method would be the most effective. I decided to use a quadrat because I felt it made the most sense for this experiment as I was able to count the flowers in each quadrat, which allowed me to get an estimate on the density of flowers in each area. I struggled to find a quadrat so opted to use a picture frame as that was what was available to me and I thought it worked quite well. The data that I collected was for the most part within my predictions. I predicted that the Vinca Minor would be most abundant in areas of lower elevation and without the presence of ferns, as I thought the ferns and Vinca Minor would compete for resources. Near the entrance is where the flowers were most abundant. This area is at a lower elevation and there are very few ferns present. The middle of the trail was slightly more sparse in flowers. This area is at a slightly higher elevation and the fern population is much more abundant. The area of higher elevation did not have any flowers present, however the population of ferns was not any greater than that in the middle of the trail. The most surprising part of the data that I did not expect was not being able to find any flowers in the area of higher elevation. I expected the population to be lower, however I did not anticipate that I would not be able to find any flowers at all. I plan on continuing to use this data sampling technique as I think it is the most accurate and time efficient way to collect the number of flowers to estimate density in each location.
