I started the research project with working on lichen growth and its association with sunlight. The implementation of sampling method was not that tricky but presence of snow during the beginning of study gave quite trouble to confirm the presence or absence of lichen on trees. My results did prove my hypothesis to be correct but only to some extent because of other associating factors that affected the growth of lichen on the trees. While working on this project, it changed the way I see things around and now I always think what the reason of someone or in the ecosystem something would be performing a particular behavior. It really helped me think critically about any theory being presented.
