plant height and water distance relationship

The experiment is to compare the plant height and number of flowers of Goldenrods with the distance form a water source. The experiment is to be conducted at the grassland near Stong pond, York University, Keele campus. Three transects (25m long) are to be placed from the pond towards the end of the grassland. Six quadrats are to be placed every 4m along each transect. A pan trap, to catch pollinators, is then placed in the middle of each quadrat. A total of 18 quadrats and 18 pan traps are to be used as replicates per week. Experiment is conducted for two weeks.
