Post 6: Data Collection

My original hypothesis stated that the abundance of dandelions in the centre field of General Brock Park in Vancouver, BC was dependent on their proximity to areas of human activity.

I recently went to do some observations but the dandelions were gone, leading me to modify my hypothesis. I counted the abundance of English daisies (Bellis perennis) as well as other flowers instead.

With the help of my brother, I counted the number of English daisies, red clovers, white clovers, and dandelions in five 1m x 1m quadrats placed randomly in General Brock Park. I did not have any problems implementing my sampling design.
