aster flower- 10%2F5 - Raw data.csv

Starting from an origin, a transect was decided using a random sampling method. Our group performed a research this October the 5^th 2016 in the forest on the northeast side of NECC in the Haverhill campus, we chose the aster flower plant. We all picked different plants of the same species and counted all of their leaves and flowers. We made sure that we recorded the height of the plant, the distance from the point of origin and how crowded they were individually. The aster plant grows natively in North America which made it a really good pick for the group to study. The scientific name of our plant is Aster divaricatus (Eurybia divaricata), white wood aster. The idea is to analyze and study the interactions among our plant and the environment in which it’s currently found. We focused on the life processes, interactions, and adaptations of the aster and the abundance and distribution of the same.
