The experiemnt was on data collection of black cherry plant in the grassland using Line transect method.It was conductedt at the York university grassland and woodlot and stated at about 3pm on the 22nd of September ,2015. The location of the research site is close to some residential houses .

A tansect was placed randomly in one spot in the grassland and a transect measuring tape was place on the a stragit line and the distance between the initail spot and the first visible Black cherry plant in that line was recorded. Theheight, number of leaves ,number of flowers and the crowdedness were recorded. Then the data of the next plant in the line was also recorded. it continued untill the tape got finished at the 33rd sample.A random smaple generator was use to determine where to continue from by taking a random number from one to twenty . It happened that 8 was the number and so eight steps were counted to the left and the the experiment was started over from there. the transect measuring tape was again placed in a a straight line from that spot and the whole process of measuring the distance from the spot, height, crowdedness continued. The entire process was done for 50 samples and the data recorded.
