What was the biodiversity of the plants in each plot?
Miles: Visual Director Jersey: Editor Vaeh: Documenter
We went around the plots 5,6, and 12 and we used the seek app and went around the edge. There weren't many types of flowers. I thought there would be more. We only found seven types of flowers in all the plots. I expected to see much more diversity in the plots but we really didnt moslty all the plots had near or the exact same plants,leafs and flowers.

How many flowers are in each plot? We went to plot 5,6, and 12 Which are mostly on the front. . In plot six the treatment was seeded grasses. In plot five the treatment was grasses and 2x Forbes. In plot 12 the treatment was grasses and Forbes. Most of the plants we found were hard to find on the seek app as most of them were just grass and dandelions and nothing really speical.

In plot five we had all seven types including daisies, american astres, sunflower, allies, wild bergamot, silphium, and giant blue sage. In plot six we found daisies and American astres. In plot 12 we found daisies, giant blue sage, and sunflowers. I think there was less flowers in plot 6 because there were mostly grasses but there were still some flowers. I also belive there were less flowers in plot 6 because it was kinda tucked aaway in the middle away from the sun. So it mightve been hard for the flowers and plants to be getting sunlight and oxygen.

Our results are pretty accurate, we used helpful resources and took our time. We had at least 2 duplicates in each plots. We wonder how many types would be if we went into the plots. We over estimated the amount of flowers we thought would be in each plot. We also thought the plots were to be much larger with more flowers but we stood incorrect.
