The theoretical basis of this research is the relationship between the soil type in Kelowna, BC, and the vegetation. The vegetation diversity in Kelowna, BC, is very specific. As a result, there is a need to investigate if any relationship explains the vegetation diversity as a factor of the soil type in the area. The findings of this research can help in fields such as agriculture and forestry because people would be aware of the specific plant types supported by the soil of Kelowna, BC. The ecological relationship is the nutrient flow through the ecosystem, as this will help suggest the organic material in the soil of this area and how the nutrients in the soil impact the vegetative cover. The primary idea that underpins this research is to understand if there is a relationship between the soil type and the vegetation diversity in the area. I believe this knowledge will help people understand what to plant and what not to plant in the area. I also believe that the plant diversity, caused by the soil type, affects the animal and insect diversity in the area. Exploring this research topic of how the soil type affects the vegetation diversity in Kelowna will help us understand the insects and animal diversity in the area.
