The effect of density and soil temperature on the Goldenrod

The purpose of this field experiment was to distinguish the effect of density and soil temperature on the Goldenrods to compare the hypothesis. The experiments were done in two weeks, and the data for both the weeks were calculated. 50 replicates were recorded, 25 on each week. It took place in the Stong pond of the York University. The weather of one week was windy and the other week was sunny. The first quadrat was placed beside the pond and then the other quadrats were placed 3 steps intervals away from the pond. The number of stems of Goldenrods of every root was counted, along with the number of branches in the quadrats. The density abundance was observed from the top view and recorded. Thermometer was placed in the soil for few minutes to record the temperature in the quadrats.
