To measure the effect of slope, sunlight, and water on the growth of grass, I have decided to measure the effect individually on 10 quadrats for each effect. I have created a data table to measure the effect on 30 different quadrats, 10 for each effect. The data collection was based on the presence or absence of each factor on the quadrats. To get more accurate results, I will be measuring the length and color of grass to check for abundance. I did not have any difficulties organizing, aggregating, or summarizing the data. The outcome for the effect of sunlight and water was closer to what I expected but the effect of slope showed a little fluctuation in data. While creating graphs for my tabular data, the representation was challenging. Overall, from the bar graphs, I found that the length of green grass was longer in the areas where water and sunlight are present and shorter where dry or arid grass is present.
Sounds like it makes sense – is the arid / dry grass indicative of high sun and low water?
Yes, the grass is arid because no water is present.
