Research project initial

The Organism that I plan to study are native plants on wetlands vs drylands. Its fascinating how they grow numerously in open sunny sites than in other places. This research will focus on various locations like park, parkways, roadsides,residential and shaded areas . By measuring the native plants and comparing them across different gradients.
It’s amazing to live in new developing area where some projects have not been built due to financial or economic chaos in Canada. Therfore, I plan on using an open site in front of my house. Where native plants become established in non-disturbance soils. And it made it possible because of the short term weather conditions such as rainy and sunny . The shaded plants give plants change to direct sunlight. Plants are still have chances to grow tremendously in non-disturbance areas(sites)

Since rain and sunlight has huge contributions to a plants growth, I predict that native plants flourish more in dry lands than wetlands,shrubs and disturbance such as residential and work ways.
The potential response variable is the length of these native plants and the explanatory variable is the weather conditions . The response variable is continuous and the explanatory variable is categorical.

  1. Hi, remember I am your OLFM (Robyn Reudink). I did not see this post as you tagged Nancy.

    Your writing is not always clear and there are some grammar issues. I recommend you work with the Writing Center and take your time with the writing aspect of this course.
    As a result, I am not clear on your project. What is your study area? Your first post was on a park in Winnipeg which sounded like a great site with numerous wetlands for your project. However, in this post you are talking about your front yard.

    What is your gradient and what are the three locations along your gradient that you are supposed to describe in this post?

    I am unclear what your hypothesis is? Grasslands and wetlands will have different native plant communities because of the soil moisture and nutrient availability differences between these different ecosystems. Then you mention residential areas which will of course have fewer native plants because the native ecosystems have been converted to residential areas. I guess what I am getting at is what is the pattern you are observing at your site and what do you think the pattern behind that pattern is.

    Why is your response variable the length of native plants? I am also not clear what ‘these native plants’ means. What native plants? Are you targeting specific species??
