After completing this survey on the relationship between plant species diversity and water distance, I deeply realized the complexity and challenge of scientific research. First, I recognize that it is crucial to ensure the representativeness and diversity of plot selection during the stage of study design. By increasing the number of plots and the distance gradient between the plots, we were able to more comprehensively capture the changing pattern of plant diversity in different distance zones. However, this also means that more time and effort will need to be invested in the field survey and data collection process to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. Secondly, I realized that the interaction of multiple environmental factors needs to be considered comprehensively when studying the effects of different habitat types on plant diversity. For example, factors such as soil type, light conditions, and human disturbance may all have important effects on plant diversity. Therefore, in future investigations, we need a more refined experimental design and data analysis methods to reveal these complex relationships. Long-term monitoring of plant community dynamics in different distance zones is a long and arduous task, but it is important for understanding the mechanisms and trends in plant diversity changes. Through continuous monitoring, we can better assess the impact of environmental changes on plant communities and provide a scientific basis for ecological conservation and management.
