Yorku. grassland/ Woodlot. Sept27-2016.CSV

This study was conducted to measure the number of insects species and number of organisms in grassland and compare them with those on woodlot at York University campus around 3:00pm-4:10pm of September 27^th, 2016. <b>Location:</b>In this field experiment data was collected at York University, Keele St. and York Blvd, in the Grassland and woodlots. Weather was rainy and cloudy; a bit of light covered the grassland but not the woodlots. <b>Methods:</b> Quadrat sampling was used in this field experiment. In this technique a quadrat, which covers area of 1 m², was put randomly on the grounds 10 times in grassland and 10 times in woodlots. In each time number of species of insects and organisms present in the quadrat was visually observed and recorded. <b>Key to variables: </b> Variables were number of species and number of organisms. Number of organisms was calculated visually by simply counting number of insects in each quadrat. This variable is quantitative and categorical. Number of species was calculated visually by counting the types of insects in each quadrat. This variable is quantitative and categorical as well. <b>Prediction:</b>It was predicted that number of insect species and organisms would be less in woodlot than in grassland. <b>Hypothesis:</b>It was hypothesis that more insect species live in grassland than in woodlot. The hypothesis was made based on the observation that Grassland is covered more with flowers and grass so pollinator insects such as bees would be found more in grassland than in woodlot, which is more covered with tall trees rather than grass and flowers.
