Blog 7: Theoretical Perspectives
Niche differences can be considered as one of the most crucial aspects in terms of identifying a particular area’s species richness. According to the neutral theory, highly diverse species in…
Blog6 :Data collection
An observational technique has been followed in the research and in this regard, the pellet count of the herbivores has been selected as subjects for observation. Due to the digestion…
Graphing my results
Nancy suggested I use the Daubenmire Cover Class method for my analysis of native vs invasive species cover in each Zone of each Wedge in my wetland. This worked quite…
Blog 5 : Design reflections
The design reflection has helped in creating the plot plan by determining the property boundaries which required a survey through a licensed surveyor. Moreover, the area is also determined regarding…
Theoretical Basis
The theory underpinning my hypothesis is that wetland creation is often a good way to increase native biodiversity and enhance the habitat value of an area for native species. As…

The sampling strategy is a method that has helped in identifying the population and further determines the best process to select a sample from a group. The three sampling strategies…
Blog 3 : Onging field observations on pellet Count for different herbivores
Observation of abundance pellet count of the herbivores has been considered as one of the most crucial field information in this research. Herbivores are known for digestion system which is…
Vegetative Analysis of Wetland
I divided my wetland into 10 Wedges. The wetland was also divided into 3 zones. Zone 1 is always submerged in water, Zone 2 (riparian) is ephemerally submerged, and Zone…
