Gunjan Bhayani, Group 1 The average height of plant species in the grassland area at York University, Keele Campus was measured by setting up 1m X 1m quadrat on the ground. A transect was set in the grassland area between pond and grassland. A quadrat was set at every 10 m interval along the transect. The average height (inch) of plant species present in the quadrat and the average coverage (%) of each plant species in the quadrat was measured and recorded. Plant species present in each quadrat was also recorded. Average height of plant species was measured in inches using a measuring tape. Average coverage was an estimate of what percentage of different plant species covered the quadrat. The same was done in the area between pond and road. There were 12 replicates performed in total in which six quadrats were used in the area between pond and grassland, and six quadrats were used in the area between pond and road. The data was continuous.

Gunjan Bhayani，第一组。本数据集围绕约克大学基尔校区草地样地的植物物种平均高度展开测量：于样地内布设1m×1m的样方（quadrat），在池塘与草地之间的草地区域设置样带（transect），沿该样带每10米布设一个样方；同时在池塘与道路之间的区域开展相同的布设与测量流程。针对每个样方内出现的植物物种，测量并记录其平均高度（单位：英寸）与平均盖度（百分比），同时记录每个样方内的植物物种组成。其中植物平均高度采用卷尺以英寸为单位测量，盖度通过估算各植物物种覆盖样方的占比得到。本实验共完成12组重复，其中池塘-草地区域布设6个样方，池塘-道路区域布设6个样方。本数据集为连续型数据。
