BIOL3250 Field Experiment: Comparing Vegetation Composition in a High Disturbance vs Low Disturbance area

This data was collected to compare species composition in two different disturbed envrironments- one with low traffic, the other with high traffic. The experiment aims to determine if a high-traffic disturbed area has more non-native species than a low-traffic one. We also aim to determine if one area has a higher species diversity than the other. Plants were identified using iNaturalist and Newcomb's Wildflower Guide. Randomization was used to select transect areas and quadrats. All data was collected in Biigtigong Nishnaabeg, ON and Pukaskwa National Park.
